For those seeking deeper connection, morning dog therapy sessions offer a gentle start to the day.

Shi Fu Miz Festival, Hong Kong’s pioneering celebration of underground music, art, and sustainability, returns on March 21, 2026, with a new venue, a new format, and a renewed sense of purpose.
After a one-year hiatus, the beloved cultural gathering reemerges at Tai Tong Organic EcoPark for a one-day experience blending electronic music, creative expression, and community spirit filled with wellbeing, while the opening party is set to take place a night prior.

Located in the tranquil valley of Tai Tong village, just ten minutes from Yuen Long, the EcoPark spans over a million square feet of farmland and lychee forests, having long been a destination for leisure and recreation among local communities.
Now, it becomes the venue for Shi Fu Miz’s next chapter, offering expansive natural surroundings and a deeper connection to the land. The 2026 edition will feature three distinct stages: the Feng Shui Stage, set outdoors on a grass field with a spiritual atmosphere; the Warehouse Stage, an indoor space with raw, industrial energy; and the Dragon Stage, which brings a traditional Asian aesthetic to life in an intimate indoor setting.
Photo from Website/ Shi Fu Miz
This marks a notable shift from previous editions held at Saiyuen Camping Adventure Park on Cheung Chau Island, where the festival sprawled across multiple open-air zones, forest paths, and beachside installations. The island’s bohemian charm and ferry-accessed remoteness gave the event a sense of escapism and adventure.
In contrast, Tai Tong offers greater accessibility and logistical flexibility, but with a more streamlined setup, downscaling to three stages, and condensing the experience into a single day. While the scale may be reduced, the intention remains: to create a space where music, nature, and community converge.
Photo from Website/ Shi Fu Miz
The weekend kicks off with an opening night on Mar. 20, 2026 at 宀 Club in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong’s iconic underground venue, setting the tone for a weekend of deep grooves and cultural connection.
Founded by FuFu Asia and La Mamie’s, Shi Fu Miz has built a reputation for curating eclectic sounds, from bass to house to techno and beyond, while championing wellness, sustainability, and artistic exploration. The move to Tai Tong reflects the festival’s continued commitment to environmental consciousness and immersive experiences.
Tickets for Shi Fu Miz Festival 2026 are now officially on sale via TIKS Asia. The Early Access Ticket is priced at HK$508 and requires arrival before 2 PM, while late entry will incur an upgrade fee to the standard door rate. The Student Access Ticket, also HK$508, is available to attendees aged 12 to 23, with free entry for children under 12. All under-18 attendees must be accompanied by a guardian and present a valid ID. The First Release General Admission is priced at HK$588, offering flexible entry throughout the day.

The journey continues with “A Vault of Legacy” zone, inspired by the 50-tonne vault located in the HSBC Main Building. Behind its reimagined vault doors lies a collection of rare artefacts from the HSBC Archives — including the bank’s original share certificate from 1865, early customer account ledgers, and historic passbooks that chronicle decades of trust and continuity.

Next is “The Money Aquarium” zone, where origami sea creatures made from HSBC banknotes glide through a digital seascape — a creative tribute to the flow of currency and its cultural impact.
This is followed by the “Banking Through the Ages” and “1 Queen’s Road Central” zones, where generations of HSBC counters and HSBC Main Building are meticulously recreated to give a glimpse into the bank’s growth alongside Hong Kong’s transformation from trading port to global financial hub.

The experience culminates in the “Vision of Tomorrow” zone, featuring a four-metre-tall lion sculpture inspired by HSBC’s iconic bronze lions, Stephen and Stitt, standing as a symbol of resilience and renewal. Here, visitors can contribute to a living digital installation, contributing to HSBC’s story.

Guests who share their visit on social media will receive a special commemorative gift, adding a special touch to their journey through the bank’s remarkable history.

The biggest impressions of Pink Dot, one of the most beloved LGBTQ+ celebrations in Asia, must be its sea of pink, the laughter, the music, and the unmistakable feeling of community.
And this year in Hong Kong, the biggest annual event of its kind is taking a different route — one that leads straight to your living room. Pink Dot Hong Kong 2025 is going fully online, transforming its signature outdoor carnival into a vibrant digital concert on Nov. 2, 2025 from 3 PM to 6 PM.

The shift to a virtual format comes after organizers were unable to secure their usual venue at the Art Park, West Kowloon Cultural District. While the details behind the venue denial remain undisclosed, the team behind Pink Dot has chosen to focus forward, embracing the opportunity to reach audiences wherever they are. And judging by the lineup, they’re doing it with style.
This year’s concert features a dynamic mix of artists who embody the spirit of pride and inclusion.

Leading the charge are event ambassadors Marf Yau, from the girl group COLLAR, and On Chan of C AllStar — two voices that have long championed diversity in Hong Kong’s music scene. They’ll be joined by a star-studded lineup of performers, including Terence Siufay, Cath Wong, Zeno, Billy Choi, Kira Chan, J.Arie, Andy Lin, and Higgo Raj. Hosting duties will be handled by the ever-charming Bonnie Wong (Ah Jeng) and Joe Wong, ensuring the show flows with warmth, wit, and plenty of pink sparkle.
Since its Hong Kong debut in 2014, the event has grown into the city’s largest LGBTQ+ gathering. The team works year-round to promote visibility, support the queer community, and foster inclusion through workshops, outreach, and cultural programming. Their efforts extend beyond the stage, creating safe spaces and amplifying voices that deserve to be heard.

While the absence of a physical venue may feel like a loss, the digital format opens new doors. Viewers from across Hong Kong and beyond can tune in, celebrate, and show their support. And with Pink Dot actively exploring new venue options for future editions, there’s hope that the pink glow will return to the city’s skyline soon.
As pride comes home, mark your calendar and get ready to celebrate love in all its forms with three hours of love going online. Join the celebration online via this link.
