Hong Kong Events Calendars

What is on in Hong Kong, month by month, written from Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei. Each monthly page is a curated listings guide rather than a table of holidays: the dated events worth planning around, the seasonal fixtures such as Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn and the Hungry Ghost Festival, the exhibitions, and the courses and guided walks that run all year from this part of Kowloon. Where a date has not yet been announced, the page says so and gives the usual window instead of presenting an expected date as a confirmed one.

Get to the Night Market

Visitors and locals alike congregate in the evenings in Hong Kong's last remaining Night Market. The Night Market at Temple Street has been a fixture of the Jordan/Yau Ma Tei district since at least the 1920s and probably before.

Today it boasts market stalls with fashions and accessories, seafood and claypot rice in traditional Dai Pai Dong restaurants, fortunetellers and tarot card readers, and Cantonese Opera singers. Nowhere else in Hong Kong is such an interesting cross section of Hong Kong culture, cuisine, commerce and society to be found.
