Meanwhile, Golden Gip's kitchen, helmed by Head Chef Nigel Kim, will serve up a culinary journey with canapés and a complimentary drink for guests to complement the edgy, art-forward atmosphere.

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

Shi Fu Miz Festival Returns in 2026 with New Venue and Fresh 1-Day Format

15102025Photo by Website/ Shi Fu Miz

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.

Shi FU Miz 2026 will be held at Tai Tong Organic EcoPark

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.

Previous Shi Fu Miz edition

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.

Previous Shi Fu Miz edition
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.
