Mega Events Throughout the Year
Events worth timing your trip to Hong Kong for — our highlights from every month
In a city as vibrant and cosmopolitan as Hong Kong, there’s a lot happening throughout the year. Cultural celebrations, festivals, international sporting events, art exhibitions, concerts, and so much more. As with so much in Hong Kong, the challenge is in the choosing. Start with these major crowd pleasers and take it from there.
January
Hong Kong New Year Countdown
As the clock strikes 12 and New Year comes a-calling, Victoria Harbour lights up in an epic display of music and fireworks. Watch it by the shore, head out to sea or zoom up a skyscraper to catch it in the clouds.
February
Chinese New Year
Hong Kong’s biggest festival, and one that sweeps over the entire city. Red lanterns are hung all across town, lion dances are performed on the streets, and crowds head down to their local temple to pray for good fortune. Chinese New Year, observed in January or February according to the Chinese lunar calendar, is a celebration that Hong Kong adores. Take a wander through the many makeshift markets selling all manner of festive items, stop in to see floats in the Night Parade, and then catch the stunning fireworks display that lights up Victoria Harbour.
Hong Kong Marathon
Pin a number on your shirt and hit the streets, as long-distance runners take part in the city’s biggest marathon. The Hong Kong Marathon has been on-the-run since 1997, the annual event seeing up to 60,000 people compete at the beginning of every year. While the full marathon distance covers over 40km, there are half-marathon and 10km races too.
March
Hong Kong Arts Month
Culture vultures come flying into town, as March signals Arts Month. From fine art to festivals like Art Basel, Art Central and Hong Kong Arts Festival, to operatic events and outdoor live music shows, there’s something for everyone.
FIA Formula E Hong Kong E-Prix
Revving up for its very first time in 2016, the Hong Kong E-Prix is the newest sporting event on the scene. Every winter, the event shuts down a chunk of the city for a race unlike any other. Environmentally friendly Formula E cars speed their way through a late-night track right in the middle of Central’s busy streets. It’s fast paced, as well as a little furious, and spectators can catch the energy-filled thrills from the heady sidelines.
April
Hong Kong Sevens
Started in the 1970s as a local club affair, the Sevens has blossomed into Hong Kong’s biggest sporting showcase. Tickets are nigh impossible to procure, but those that gain entrance are treated to a true spectacle. The world’s finest athletes battle in rapid-fire games for three days, while local legions watch on, most infamously from the South Stand. If you can’t gain entrance, neighbouring Sevens Village makes an entertaining substitute.
May
Cheung Chau Bun Festival
The mad clamber to the top, the grabbing of buns, the cheer of the crowd as the winners make their descent. This festival is a rare spectacle, not only of athleticism during its bun tower climbing competition, but of camaraderie and good cheer. Falling in April or May each year, its history is based on offerings to fend off an ancient plague. The event also includes ceremonies, parades and lion dances. Be warned though, it can get very busy.
June
Hong Kong Dragon Boat Carnival
Dragon boat races are a Hong Kong spectacle, where brawny paddlers battle it out in vessels adorned with Chinese dragon heads and tails while the crowds cheer on from the side. Events take place all over the city at different times throughout the year, but the two biggest are the championships in Stanley at end of May, and the carnival over three days in June on the harbourfront. Catch them both if you can.
July & Augest
Hong Kong Summer Fun
When the heat rises, an array of showcase events take place all across the city. Catch music festivals, sports tournaments, major fairs and other events, all summer long.
September
Mid-Autumn Festival & The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance
Mid-Autumn was once celebrated to welcome the harvest and is now an enduring custom that takes over the city. Mooncakes are sold everywhere, fruit and wine offerings are made to the gods, and lanterns are lit to emulate the full moon in September or October. In Victoria Park, kids carry mini-lanterns, while games and performances take place. Over in Tai Hang, the Fire Dragon Dance is a spectacle where an incense-studded beast dances through the streets.
October
Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival
Food, drink and entertainment on Central’s harbourfront.
Hong Kong Cyclothon
Cyclothon sees amateurs and professionals riding through the city.
Hong Kong Tennis Open
With names like Venus Williams, Jelena Jankovic and Johanna Konta regularly gracing our hard courts, the Hong Kong Tennis Open is quickly becoming a major sporting spectacle. Set every October in Victoria Park’s outdoor stadium, catch the world’s best women’s players for a weekend of singles and doubles matches. And if you’re lucky enough to be here during the first few days, the qualifying stages are free entry on a first-come basis.
November
Hong Kong Great November Feast
The Great November Feast is a month filled with epicurean events, fairs and offers.
Hong Kong Great Outdoors
Take to the hills and explore the great outdoors, by seeking out hikes, beaches and islands.
Clockenflap, Hong Kong’s Music & Art Festival
Hong Kong’s biggest music festival, Clockenflap is an electrifying weekend of great tunes and captivating multimedia. Featuring local, regional and international acts, alongside film and art installations, it’s set outdoors, usually in November, just as the weather cools. Attracting crowds of up to 50,000 people, including entire families, the festival features numerous food and drinks vendors, alongside a dedicated kids' zone. Previous years have seen headliners such as The Chemical Brothers, New Order, The Flaming Lips and Flying Lotus.

Hong Kong Open
Get in the swing of things at the Hong Kong Open, the city’s oldest professional sporting event and a tournament where the world’s best golfers gather. Set in Sheung Shui as the weather starts to cool in December, it regularly awards a US$2 million prize, with previous winners including Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose. Admission is free on the first two days, and ticketed for the main event over the weekend.
December
Hong Kong Pulse Light Festival
Make magical memories with a spectacle of light, music and entertainment.
