Theme: Downpour, Uproar!

For the 2nd Annual Hungry Ghost Festival in 2024, we will embrace the theme, “Downpour, Uproar!”, chasing the emotions and catharsis of rage and sorrow. The festival will be a rousing celebration with unique performances, a lively procession, and a bustling marketplace. Honoring our ancestors and wandering spirits into the night, we hope that the darker it gets, the bolder or more empowered we feel.
