Hong Kong Events Calendar
Cheung Sha Wan Road runs through the heart of Sham Shui Po, and the district's year is shaped as much by the wholesale trade as by the festival calendar. This page is the index for it - the full year-by-year calendars, the calendar files you can drop straight into your phone, and a short read on when the street is at its busiest.
Browse the year calendars
Two year views are kept on the site. The 2026 Hong Kong events calendar opens with a month-by-month overview and links through to a page for every month, so you can check a single weekend rather than scroll a whole year. The 2025 events calendar keeps that year's dated highlights, with the fuller 2025 list - flower markets, fashion sales, food walks and the traditional festivals - held in the calendar file below. Across both, district fixtures such as the markets at Cheung Sha Wan Playground and Fa Hui Park sit alongside the city-wide festivals that are only a short MTR ride away.
Download the calendar to your phone
If you would rather carry the calendar than browse it, both years are published as standard iCalendar (.ics) files. Download the 2025 event calendar or the 2026 event calendar and open the file: on iOS and Android it imports into the calendar app you already use, and on desktop both Google Calendar and Apple Calendar accept it through their Import option. Each entry carries a title, date, venue and a link to the organiser, so the calendar keeps working when you are offline or out of signal.
📱 Import once, plan all year
An .ics file is a snapshot rather than a live subscription, so re-download it nearer your dates if a fixture moves - district events in particular are often confirmed only a few weeks ahead. The monthly pages linked from each year calendar are the quickest way to check the latest position.
How the district's year runs
Sham Shui Po's calendar is driven less by ticketed entertainment than by the rhythm of its trade. Winter belongs to Chinese New Year: in the days before the new year the flower markets take over Cheung Sha Wan Playground and Fa Hui Park, and the nearby streets are at their busiest as shops and families buy in. For visitors, the pre-New-Year weeks are also the peak of the wholesale buying season, when stock and prices on Cheung Sha Wan Road are at their most interesting.
Spring carries the trade forward. The craft streets around Ki Lung Street and Yu Chau Street swing into wedding season, Fashion Street previews its summer ranges with a spring wholesale sale, and a street-food weekend fills the blocks around Pei Ho Street - the period when the street food crawl is at its best. Summer is the practical season: pre-summer clearance on Fashion Street, a summer sale on Toy Street, and a summer night market, with the dai pai dong festival in August celebrating the district's outdoor dining culture.
Autumn and winter bring the year's second peak. September's fall collection preview on Fashion Street leads into October, when Halloween displays appear along Toy Street and a guided food walk crosses the district. From November the Christmas displays and year-end clearance sales run through to December's winter festival market. For a month-by-month sense of what to buy and when, the seasonal fashion shopping guide sets out the cycles in more detail.
Confirmed for 2027
At the time of writing the district's 2027 diary is still filling up, but its two anchors are already fixed. The FEHD Chinese New Year Fair returns to Cheung Sha Wan Playground from 31 January to 6 February 2027, with stalls set up over 28-30 January. Chinese New Year itself falls on Saturday 6 February 2027, with the eve on Friday 5 February and public holidays on 6, 8 and 9 February. Beyond the district, the Hong Kong Flower Show runs 12-21 March 2027, Art Basel Hong Kong 25-27 March 2027, the Hong Kong Sevens 9-11 April 2027 and the HKTDC Book Fair 14-20 July 2027 - all a short MTR ride from Sham Shui Po.
Where to check first
Confirmation for government-run events comes from the organisers themselves. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department publishes the Chinese New Year fair dates and venues; the Sham Shui Po District Office posts district events such as the Spring Lantern Festival and the Sham Coffee Fair as each year's arrangements are set; and the Hong Kong Tourism Board carries the city-wide programme. When a new date for a district event is published, it is added to the year calendars above.
