Fujiko F. Fujio’s manga, Doraemon, has been a favourite among many around the world since its creation in the 1970s. To the excitement of fans in Hong Kong, the character and his friends are coming to Hong Kong for not one, but two exciting happenings!
The 100% Doraemon & Friends Tour will kick off this Saturday, 25 May, with a Doraemon drone show over Victoria Harbour! Starting at 7.30 pm and lasting around 15 minutes, spectators will get to see the beloved characters from the manga series light up the Hong Kong sky. The drone show is a teaser to a special Doraemon exhibition set to land in Hong Kong in July, and celebrates the launch of tickets sales early that day.
To enjoy the drone show, head over to the Avenue of Stars; the drones will set off near Salisbury Garden, and you should be able to get a good view from anywhere along that stretch of Victoria Harbour. Areas by the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Museum of Art will be cordoned off (and the organisers have pointed out that visibility will not be great from there, anyway). Do note the show will not be visible from Hong Kong Island.
Organised in collaboration between AllRightReserved and Fujiko Pro, the highlight of the 100% Doraemon & Friends Tour is without a doubt the exhibition launching on 13 July in Hong Kong. Under the theme “A True Friend is Always There When You Need Them,” the exhibition is held in honour of Fujiko F. Fujio’s ninetieth anniversary. It is anticipated to be one of the largest Doraemon exhibitions ever, with both free-entry zones and ticketed areas, featuring elements taken from the original manga and the Doraemon movie universe, and the reveal of the special 100% Friends-Calling Bell gadget.
Tickets to the exhibition will go on sale on Klook on 25 May at 11 am. You’ll have to reserve a specific date and time slot upon purchasing tickets. Fans can go for the premium set package, which is inclusive of a ticket to the exhibition, a limited-edition pin, and on-site advantages. More details about the 100% Doraemon & Friends Tour exhibition will be revealed on the day of the drone show and when ticket sales go live.
