Fun in the sun never looked so good at this year’s SummerFest. Get ready for quintessential summer sights, sounds, and smells.
What happens?
This is an annual event that typically takes place along two harbourfronts, namely Central and Wan Chai.
You can fry eggs, walk through sunflowers, listen to ukulele artists, grab a bargain at the market, stretch your body with yoga — and so much more.
Schedule 2026
Officially kicking off on May 29, this year’s edition will be limited to the Wan Chai Harbourfront Event Space.
It will combine returning crowd‑favorite play facilities with brand‑new areas designed for kids to run, jump, and burn off endless energy. Past highlights have included a giant 25‑meter inflatable obstacle course and inflatable bowling lanes, all completely free.
In addition to the play zones, SummerFest will also feature a colourful line‑up of family‑friendly special events spanning culture, music, art, and sports.
How to get there
From Central Station, take the Island Line one stop to Admiralty. Transfer to the East Rail Line towards Lo Wu and alight at Exhibition Centre Station. From there, it’s a short walk to the Wan Chai Harbourfront Event Space, right by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Alternatively, you can take the Island Line directly to Wan Chai Station, then walk about 15 minutes towards the waterfront. For a more scenic route, hop on the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai and stroll along the harbourfront to the venue.
