Hakka Festival

The festivities and celebrations portray the cultures and customs of a society. It is by means of the more and folk lore that we are able to distinguish one society from the other. The Hakka Festival too is a representation of the “More” of the Shenzhen ethnic cluster. This is a two day long event that takes place on the 27th and 28th of the month of October in Longgang. This celebration is supported by the Guangdong Cultural and Arts Association, Shenzhen Television and the Longgang District Government.

This festivity is marked by Hakka folk song competition and art exhibition. This celebration is not only confined to the sphere of business, but also extended to the corporate and small industrial sectors. These economic integers organize conference and meeting throughout the globe. The oversea Chinese population takes part in these programs. It is estimated that over 60 million Hakka inhabitants reside in more than 30 countries of the world. Previously, these Hakka people tended to place themselves either in military or in government services, now they are found in every economic sphere.

The hakka community comprises 60% population of the Guangdong region. During the festivity, fire crackers are tied along long strings before they are lighted.
