Time Out says

For five weekends from July 8 onwards, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) will hold the Harbour Chill Carnival at Wan Chai Promenade, where a total of 25 local and international troupes will be putting on exhilarating street performances along the Wan Chai Promenade. Each performance will have a unique theme, such as European-inspired acrobats, dynamic samba drumming, and more. Additionally, attendees can feast their eyes on hula-hoop shows, an elephant art installation, as well as a traditional lion dance lit up by LED lights. There will also be an outdoor X-Games performance area, where BMX riders and skateboarders from all over Asia will showcase amazing tricks, while local break dancers and street dancers will rock the stage with their killer dance moves. 
 
During the carnival, 20 music shows will take place on a water stage with the gorgeous scenery of Victoria Harbour as backdrop. As of now, there have already been two weekends of music shows that have taken place under the themes ‘Asia Power’ and ‘Fresh Finds’. For the upcoming shows, attendees can catch three themed music concerts – Indie Rocks, Cantopop Hits, and DJ Nights – which feature international acts such as Tytan and Reddy; underground DJs like Jo.D and Jaxi; as well as Cantopop stars like Ivana Wong and Tyson Yoshi! Tickets to the shows will be distributed for free on HKTB’s website on July 17 on a first-come, first-served basis. Each user can get tickets for a maximum of two music sessions.

Finally, multimedia light show ‘A Symphony of Lights’ will be held every night at the waterfront at 8pm for one month from July 8. Throughout the 10 days of the carnival,  the light show will be given a pyrotechnic twist, which is sure to stir up excitement this summer.
