Festivals HKSAR Establishment Day HKSAR Establishment Day commemorates the day of the handover. This year, it falls on a Tuesday.

Hong Kong Lotus Festival The lotus has it all figured out, rising flawless and serene from the muck -- a perfect symbol of purity and transformation. If only we could be so effortlessly graceful!

Arts and Culture Picasso for Asia — A Conversation If you haven't checked it out yet, this is the last month to take a peek at Picasso for Asia — A Conversation at the M+. Picasso’s back in Hong Kong, but not like you’ve ever seen him before. This exhibition smashes the Eurocentric mold by throwing 60 of the Spaniard’s heavy-hitting works into a heady, first-of-its-kind mash-up with 130 pieces by 30 Asian and Asian diasporic artists. Expect big names like Noguchi and Malani to collide with Picasso’s iconic works across four themes: The Genius, The Outsider, The Magician, and The Apprentice.
