The unique Hong Kong humor of internet memes, elderly pictures, and classic cult films always brings a smile to people’s faces. Recently, kkplus collaborated with Hong Kong toy brand LeeeeeeToy to hold the “HAPPY! HAPPY! HONG KONG Cultural Festival” at the kkplus Langham Place store. Bringing together 33 local creative units, they blend trends, art, toys, graffiti, fashion, and more!
“The Terra Culture Festival aims to spread joy through activities and provide a new perspective on Hong Kong. Outside the venue, there is a replica of the Tian Tan Buddha at Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, combined with a selfie spot featuring LeeeeeeToy’s original character, the Earth Child. The Earth Child is transformed into a golden Buddha, with the words ‘Earth Peace’ shining brightly in gold. On the other side, there is a gate designed to resemble the entrance of the Earth Toy Company, with artwork by Hong Kong graffiti artist BOMS incorporating iconic elements of the participating exhibitors.”

When you step into the cultural festival, you can find many design elements that are full of Hong Kong street characteristics. For example, in one corner of the festival, there is a “Lok Nei Ming Sam Cheung” folding chair, a large glass mirror plaque with Mahjong card game rules printed on it, images of elderly people, and internet meme pictures, recreating the authentic and humorous atmosphere of Hong Kong-style street food culture.
In addition to the art exhibition, the “Tudi Cultural Festival” also brings a peripheral market. Inside the venue, there are T-shirts, tote bags, 3D postcards, A4 document folders, keychains, washi tape, stickers, and badges designed with the Earth Buddha. Various creative units also bring peripheral designs rich in Hong Kong-style culture, such as figurines, toys, caps, patterned leggings, skateboards, and more. Why not take a look!
The classic youth unlimited camera of the Y2K girl’s zone is also the exclusive photo frame for this cultural festival’s design theme deadline, with a strong Hong Kong-style special pattern. In addition, with a purchase of HK$200 or more at the Popup Store, you can receive a free poster of this cultural festival.
