This September, European literature takes over the streets of Central and Sheung Wan.
Inspired by the original Literature Night launched in Prague in 2006, this is Hong Kong's second edition, organised by EUNIC Cluster Hong Kong, 13 European Consulates and Cultural Institutes, with the support of Zolima CityMag, Hong Kong International Literary Festival, Bookazine, and our local venue partners.

How it works
From 17:30 to 22:30, each venue hosts a live English reading every 30 minutes – a 10-minute performance followed by 20 minutes to stroll to your next stop.
You're free to create your own route, exploring venues in any order.
