In an Instagram post on Saturday, organisers of Pink Dot HK 2025 said that this year’s event would be held as an online concert, with Cantopop stars Marife Yau Yin-tung, also known as Marf, from girl group Collar and On Chan as its ambassadors.
“There may still be a storm, but our original intention remains. Love will forever be the strongest force ! We ! Are ! Back !” it said.
The concert will be held between 3pm and 6pm on November 2, featuring a slew of local celebrities and artists including Cath Wong and rapper Billy Choi, with Commercial Radio DJ Wong Ching-yi being one of its emcees.
In July, organisers said the event, originally scheduled for October 12, would be cancelled as they could not secure a venue at the West Kowloon Cultural District.
They said they had spoken with the authority earlier in the year about hiring the Art Park in the cultural district for Pink Dot, but were told the venue would not be rented to them. No explanation was provided.
