Hong Kong Events - July 2027

📚 The big dated events

🎮 Summer listings

• Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong — expected in late July at the Convention Centre, the city's biggest animation, comics, gaming and cosplay gathering. Annual event; the 2027 dates are not yet confirmed. anicomhk.com
• Hong Kong Food Festival — a December event, but summer trade fairs and pop-up food markets appear across Kowloon through July. Check Discover Hong Kong before you go.
• Summer trading on Temple Street — because the days are too hot, the market's own high season is effectively after dark. The food stalls, the fortune-tellers and the evening opera in the square all run latest in July and August. See the opera page and fortune-telling.

🧭 Practical notes for July

• Heat: July is the hottest month of the year, with high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. Plan the market for after dark and carry water.
• Book Fair week: hotels in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay fill for 14-20 July. If you are in Kowloon you are insulated from the worst of it, and the MTR gets you there in one ride from Jordan.
• Getting there: Jordan MTR is the closest station to the market. See how to get here.
• Timing: check the opening hours and closing time pages before a special trip.
• Entry and prices: free to walk; food and readings are paid and any quoted price is indicative. See the 2027 food guide.
• Free alternatives: the Tin Hau Temple and the Hong Kong Museum of Art in TST, both free and both a break from the heat.
• Before you travel: summer dates firm up through the spring — check Discover Hong Kong and the best time to visit.
