PHOTOGRAPHY – Photographic Highlights from the 2013 Int’l HK Pillow Fight Day


Hundreds gathered on Saturday for International Pillow Fight Day in Central – below are some photographic highlights courtesy of this year’s attendees. Click here for videos and press coverage.

The countdown… “You can take our freedom, but you cannot take our pillows!”…

Warriors, old and young, fought for their right to fight (with soft bedding)…

The 2013 gathering was HK’s third and biggest yet…

It was synchronised with over 100 cities around the world…

300-400 people took part, unleashing their cushiony wrath in a ferocious feathery frenzy…

Many donned costumes or pyjamas…

After weeks of rainy weather, the sky cleared and sun came out – attracting locals and foreigners alike to Chater Garden…

The BBC carried Reuters footage…

Public Service Announcement: We had reports that Monster Energy were piggy-backing our community event, trying to unofficially sponsor it. To be clear – they were not invited and we make a point of rejecting corporate sponsorship – it’s a non-commercial event owned solely by Hong Kongers…
