This month sees the Hungry Ghost Festival, a traditional festival devoted to honouring ancestors. The Hong Kong Sake Festival is back in town, as well as a whole bunch of fairs at Wan Chai’s Convention and Exhibition Centre to get your shopping in.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong Disneyland gets a Pixar makeover, and the city is feeling oh so bubbly.
Food and Beverage
Hong Kong Sake Festival
You don’t have to travel to Japan to sample sake (although it wouldn’t hurt). This is one of the biggest sake festivals in town, complete with regional sake from some of the most sought after breweries, multilingual sessions led by the who’s who of the sake world, and snacks.

Arts and Culture
International Arts Carnival
The annual International Arts Carnival attracts world-class performing arts groups from across the globe. This year, there will be family-friendly performances by artists from Australia, Spain, South Korea, and more. Highlights from past years have included a hybrid ballet and theatre production, an orchestra mixing humour with classical music, and an immersive dance theatre experience designed to amuse and delight babies.

Family-friendly
Bubble Planet Hong Kong
Bubble Planet Hong Kong is a large indoor attraction at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal built around bubbles, light effects and oversized play spaces. The 11 themed rooms include ball pits, inflatable installations, mirrored areas, an underwater-style LED room, a giant bubble visitors can step inside, a VR experience and a hot-air-balloon simulator. This is a solid family-friendly pick for a weekend.
Pixar Summer Fest
Pixar Summer Fest gives Hong Kong Disneyland a seasonal Pixar takeover, with characters, parades and a few extra reasons to linger after dark. The daytime programme includes the returning Pixar Water Play Street Party, where spectators should expect to get splashed, alongside the Friendtastic! Parade, featuring Pixar characters on themed floats. There are also meet-and-greets, drawing sessions at the Animation Academy and, in the evening, the Pixar Pals Spectacular, an eight-minute show combining drones, projections and music.
