Further to our continuous effort to encourage visitors to Hong Kong in the summer and enhance their experience during the stay, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) will once again stage the "Hong Kong Summer Spectacular" programme from 17 June to 31 August 2011. The event presents a colourful mix of fabulous programmes, amazing citywide sales and assorted scrumptious dining offers to visitors.

As the kick-off event of Hong Kong Summer Spectacular, the three-day Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival will be held on 17-19 June. Visitors and locals alike can gather at East Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade to view the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races. They can also enjoy beer, food and live entertainment in San Miguel Beer Garden located at UC Centenary Garden and visit the Dragon Boat Exhibition.
