Hong Kong Events Calendar 2027
Every event worth planning around in Hong Kong in 2027, month by month, with the ones that matter to Wan Chai and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre put first. Lunar New Year Day 1 falls on Saturday 6 February 2027, Art Basel runs 25-27 March, the Book Fair 14-20 July, and Mid-Autumn falls on Wednesday 15 September.
Each month below links to a full page with the listings, the courses and workshops running that month, and practical notes on timing and booking. Confirmed dates are given as dates; annual events whose 2027 dates had not been published when these pages were written are labelled as such rather than dated.

âšī¸ How these pages are written
Every date on this calendar is either confirmed by the organiser or the government, or labelled as an annual event whose 2027 date had not been published when the page was written. No expected date is presented as a confirmed one, and nothing is listed that could not be sourced. Where a 2027 programme is still to come, the page says so and points you at the organiser.
