Here we list the top festivals, holidays and events every month to help you plan your stay in the city. Be sure to check the listings for the month of your visit:

• First, so you don't miss on an extraordinary spectacle should you happen to be in town during a major event
• And second, so you plan accordingly your accomodation and transportation needs.

During the most popular events and festivals it might be a bit difficult to find a reasonable hotel as prices skyrocket, and getting to and out of the city might be a problem as flights and trains are running at full capacity.

This is particularly true during the Chinese New Year celebrations in January/February and on National Day in October.

The Hong Kong annual holiday schedule reflects both Chinese and Western legacies, we get to celebrate two New Year's days! Some holidays have their roots in centuries of tradition whereas others are the result of recent developments up to the formation of the Special Administrative Region. The dates of the Chinese Festivals will vary from year to year since they are based on the Lunar Calendar.
