Hong Kong's annual international jazz festival is returning this November with its biggest edition yet, bringing 10 days of music, seven indoor and outdoor stages, and a lineup that explores everything jazz and beyond.

Cathay・WestK Jazz Fest runs from Nov. 13 to 24, 2026 across Freespace, Xiqu Centre, Wonderland and the Art Park, with Grammy-winning stars Kenny G and Diana Krall, acclaimed vocalist Stacey Kent, and a mix of international names, Hong Kong artists, and cross-genre performers.

Tickets for the festival's paid programs went on sale on Sept. 29, through Cityline and the Xiqu Centre Ticket Office, with a maximum of four tickets per program per transaction.

Now in its eighth edition, the festival will unfold across two weekends and multiple venues, including three outdoor lawns. In typical music festival fashion, everyone can move between stages from early till late, catching everything from jazz and pop to new collaborations and genre-mixing performances.

Jazz icon Diana Krall opens the ticketed lineup on Nov. 13, followed by Grammy-nominated artist Cory Wong and Hong Kong harmonica champion Cy Leo on Nov. 15. Jazz vocalist Stacey Kent performs on Nov. 17, while Korean jazz vocalist Song Yi Jeon brings her Acoustic Trio to the festival on Nov. 19.

The festival closes on Nov. 24 with Kenny G at Wonderland. The Grammy-winning saxophonist's appearance marks his first Hong Kong concert since 2008 and is presented in collaboration with Montreux Jazz Festival China. Performing with his four-piece band, Kenny G is expected to revisit some of his signature tracks alongside some pieces from his 20th studio album, "Innocence."

Beyond the headliners, Cathay・WestK Jazz Fest will also host free outdoor performances, food and drink offerings, and a new "calm oasis" on the lawn beside M+. The wellness space will offer complimentary activities focused on the body, mind, and soul.

Hong Kong’s dessert lovers have new dates to mark on their calendars, as Ciao! Gelato Fest 2026 is taking over PMQ Central on two consecutive weekends next month. Happening on Oct. 1-4 and 9-11, 2026, the event will turn the creative hub into a playground of artisanal gelato, inventive dessert mashups, and exclusive flavors from some of Hong Kong’s most exciting makers.

Presented and organized by Circus Media (H.K.) Limited, the team behind Gelato-gather Festival, Hong Kong’s first-ever Italian gelato market, this year’s lineup spans everything from traditional Italian craftsmanship to unique food innovations.

Visitors can try OKALO’s 0 Net Calorie Impact Gelato Pops that were developed with local university researchers, explore Hong Kong-inspired sweet soup flavors reinvented by Ganto Gelato, and sample creations from Edenly Gelato, whose founder trained under a World Gelato Championship runner-up.

Hong Kong is getting ready to turn The Peak a little pinker this October.

The Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation's Pink Walk 2026 will take place on Oct. 25, 2026, at Peak Road Garden, bringing participants together for a 3.5-kilometer charity walk in support of breast health. The event runs from 8:30 AM to 1 PM, with the walk expected to take around 1 to 1.5 hours.

Registration closes at 6 PM on Oct. 16, although enrolment may end earlier if the event reaches capacity. Participants can select from staggered start times beginning at 9 AM until 12 NN, and must check in 30 minutes before their confirmed slot.

Beyond clocking in a lot of scenic steps, walkers can turn their participation into a fundraising campaign through their own "Pink Walker" page. Individuals and teams can customize their profiles, share fundraising messages, and track donations from supporters.

New for 2026 are Recognition Tags, which add a little friendly competition to the fundraising effort. Participants can earn Supporter Milestone Tags by attracting five, 10, or 20 supporters, while Fundraising Achievement Tags recognize those who raise more than HK$10,000, HK$50,000, or HK$100,000.

There are prizes at stake too. Registered walkers can compete for Top Fundraiser Awards and the Highest Participation Award. There's also the famous Best Dressed Pink Awards. And if you're not ready to dress up in pink, add a touch of the color by heading over to their face painting booth.

Pink Walk incorporates greener event practices this year. Recycling facilities and water refill stations will be available, reusable goodie bags will help cut down on single-use waste, and a clean-up team will ensure the place is left in pristine condition. The event's pink T-shirts, supported by apparel sponsor DETERMINANT, use an earthy pink natural dye derived from madder plant roots.

Registered participants who join the walk on-site can receive a goodie bag while supplies last, and all registered participants will receive an e-certificate by email within 30 days after the event.

So, wear comfortable shoes, bring a reusable water bottle, and wear as much pink as possible.

For more information and to register, visit the Hong Kong Pink Walk website.
