Major Annual Events
Ocean Park hosts five major events throughout the year: a varying Animal in High Definition Month, the Ocean Park Summer Splash, the Halloween Bash and Christmas and Chinese New Year celebrations.
2009’s Halloween Bash, themed “Haunted Hong Kong”, was a spine-tingling success that featured costumed ‘ghosts’ promoting the event throughout the city. In 2008, the theme for the Halloween Bash was, “Fear Formula”.
The Animal in High Definition Months enable visitors to encounter a variety of rare animals up close, with educational experts on hand to disseminate vital information about these creatures. The Animal in High Definition Month for 2010 has a reptile theme called, “Mighty Dragons”.

Famous quotes containing the words major, annual and/or events:
“The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
“If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
