Supporting Organisation

Established in 1866 and one of Hong Kong's oldest private-member clubs, Club Lusitano has been the social and cultural heart of Hong Kong's Portuguese and Macanese communities for 160 years, preserving the unique Sino-Portuguese identity through generations of traditions, language, cuisine and communal gatherings.

Guided personally by the General Manager, Mr Stephen Alan Handley, this unique two-hour tour will reveal highlights such as the club’s historic photos and artefacts, the 1924 Lisbon-Macau flight propeller and more. Participants will enjoy Macanese-Portuguese refreshments (including cod cakes, pastel de nata and serradura pudding) with tea and coffee, and receive a complimentary 150th Anniversary Booklet from the Club.

Perfectly timed to complement the 54th HKAF’s Gulbenkian Choir programmes that celebrate Portugal's choral culture, this intimate experience reveals the cultural fusion that was brought by the Portuguese community and shaped Hong Kong.

Club Lusitano

Club Lusitano is one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most celebrated social clubs, dating back 160 years to the European settlement of the former British colony. It was founded as a private-member club for the local Portuguese community and to this day retains its unique Lusitanian cultural identity through its language, cuisine and membership.
