Hong Kong Pride Parade Cancels Indoor Market
The event, scheduled for November 14, was cancelled due to a booking overlap at Central Market, which is managed by Chinachem Group
The Hong Kong Pride Parade committee has cancelled its indoor Rainbow Market event, which was scheduled to take place on November 14. The cancellation was due to a booking overlap at Central Market, the venue where the event was to be held.
The committee had approached Central Market in early June to book the venue and had confirmed the booking and paid a deposit in July. The event details were announced in late August, but just over a month later, the committee was informed that the venue could no longer host the event.
Central Market, which is managed by Chinachem Group, had no alternative space available in November, leaving the committee with no choice but to cancel the event. The cancellation was attributed to an 'administrative error' by the venue.
The committee had been looking forward to hosting the Rainbow Market at the revamped Central Market, but the unexpected cancellation has forced them to abandon their plans. The event was expected to take place on November 14, but it will no longer go ahead as scheduled.
## What happens next The cancellation of the indoor market event is a setback for the Hong Kong Pride Parade committee, but it is unclear what alternative plans the committee may have to replace the cancelled event. The committee has not announced any new plans, and it remains to be seen how the cancellation will affect the rest of the parade's events.
The cancellation of the Rainbow Market event is a disappointment for those who were looking forward to attending the event, but the committee's efforts to host the event at Central Market were ultimately thwarted by the venue's administrative error. The committee will likely explore alternative options for hosting the event in the future, but for now, the indoor market event will not take place as planned.
