Pink Dot, Hong Kong's largest annual LGBTQ pride event, cancelled after venue backs out
The coming 11th edition of Hong Kong's largest LGBTQ carnival has been cancelled after the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority backed out of offering an event venue without giving any reason, organisers have said.
The organising committee for Pink Dot HK said on Thursday that this year's free pride event, which was originally scheduled for October 12, would be cancelled as they could not secure a venue. The team apologised to everyone involved.
The organisers said they had spoken with the authority earlier in the year about renting Art Park for this year's Pink Dot.
