Chill 11 features three main themes: Entertainment, Art and Culture, and Shopping. Popular music group After Class (Gigi Yim, Chantel Yiu, Yumi Chung and Windy Zhan) unveiled Chill 11 with pop dance and singing, attracting many fans. Albert Chau and Ramon Lo of Midlife, Sing & Shine will also be on stage on Christmas Eve and Christmas respectively. New-generation rapper Taco Wong and veteran singer Jackson Wan Kwong will perform on Boxing Day (26 December). Taco composed the Chill 11 theme song and will sing out its highlights.
GD Show & Co presents a massive 32-metre-long inflatable Chill Castle. The first 50 children who enter each day dressed as cartoon characters can enjoy a free 10-minute session at the Castle. Chill 11 will offer about 30 workshops including Merry Face-Painting, KamCha Hong Kong Style milk tea workshop, stone painting, Christmas Deer Fluid Painting Key Chain, Christmas paper light box, Hong Kong minibus signage and Crocheted Christmas wreath making workshops. Star make-up artist Will Or will also stage a Christmas trendy make-up class to share make-up tips for Christmas holiday.
Chill 11 also presents culinary specialities from Hong Kong. The trendy craft beer brand Hong Kong Whistle teamed up with Great Gourmets to brew a big-hit sauce-flavoured mocha craft beer for Chill 11, using maotai, beer ingredients, chocolate and coffee. The brew is on sale at the event. The Art Café offers a menu comprising sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty dishes under the theme Tastes of Life, and fuses a number of traditional Chinese and Western food brands, serving culinary highlights with captivating paintings.
For Art and Culture, the Sino-Western Cultural Corridor features award-winning works from the 2022 Sino-French Young Artists Competition Award (organised by the Chinese Western Culture Arts Association) through integration of art and technology, including Tang Sanjue – Bring in the Wine by 16-year-old Qin Chi-ho and Dear cat I miss you by Ng Chun-hei. The two artists visited Chill 11 today. Qin Chi-ho’s Tang Sanjue – Bring in the Wine will be sent to Hôtel de Ville in Paris, France after Chill 11 as a permanent collection. Monet’s The Japanese Footbridge and Van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Cypresses will also feature as animated paintings at the immersive experience to illustrate the impressionist style of Western art and its interpretation of natural landscapes.
Chill 11 will also showcase a 1.8 metre high, 24 metre long mural In Homage: The Victoria Harbour Sunrise · Impression. This artwork is a collaboration between 11 artists from the Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong’s social enterprise ADAM and nine local young artists. The work pays tribute to Monet.

He will also share some photography tips at the event.
