The pop-up marks Phase 2 of lululemon’s "Like New" pilot in Hong Kong, following a successful Phase 1 product take-back initiative held from April to August.

In the initiative’s series of events, guests can also participate in upcycling workshops, crafting accessories like scrunchies and keychains from repurposed materials. Each session costs HK$100 and is redeemable as credit toward same-day purchases.

The signature moves of wrestlers in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) have been captivating many of us growing up, but do you know wrestling is a thing in our city? And our local wrestlers are not short of styles!

Get ready for body slams with a skyline view on September 25, 2025, as the Hong Kong Wrestling Federation (HKWF) is transforming AIA Vitality Park into a high-octane battleground with its first-ever outdoor wrestling competition: "Ring of Harbour."

Set beneath the iconic Hong Kong Observation Wheel at the Vitality Park, this one-night-only event will feature an international lineup of over 20 professional wrestlers from Mexico, Ireland, India, and, or course, Hong Kong, turning the harborfront into a global wrestling carnival and making it a cultural collision of athleticism, adrenaline, and international flair.

Wrestling is sport deeply rooted in Mexican culture, where Lucha Libre has captivated audiences for nearly a century. Known for its high-flying maneuvers, colorful masks, and dramatic storytelling, as acultural tradition, it blends athleticism withfolklore and identity.

Wrestlers, or luchadores, often represent larger-than-life personas, and their masks carry symbolic weight while some even passed down through generations. This rich heritage has influenced wrestling styles worldwide and adds a vibrant layer to HKWF’s Ring of Harbour, especially with Mexican talent joining the lineup.

And, in fact, Ring of Harbour will be the opening act of a larger cultural celebration hosted by the Mexican Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong (MexCham HK)'s annual The Latin Kaleidoscope event – celebrating Latin America in Hong Kong. Running from September 26 to 28 at the same venue, this vibrant festival showcases Latin Americanarts, cuisine, fashion, business, and innovation, bringing together communities from across the region to share their heritage with Hong Kong.

Expect interactive installations, live performances, curated exhibits, and a feast of Latin flavors — from street food to gourmet tastings. It’s a kaleidoscope of culture designed to bridge gaps and spark new connections, with Ring of Harbour kicking off the festivities in true high-impact style.

Whether you're a wrestling fan, a culture lover, or just looking for an unforgettable activity by the harbor, this waterfront double-header promises something for everyone. Come for the curiosity, stay for the adrenaline rush — and celebrate the power of sport and culture in one of Asia’s most iconic settings.

Doors open at 6:30 PM for Ring of Harbour, with the show kicking off at 7:30 PM. Tickets are priced at HK$450, and it’s a free-standing event, meaning fans will be up close and personal with the action. With limited spots available, tickets are on sale via PopTicket.

If you’ve ever dreamed of floating above Hong Kong’s iconic skyline in a hot air balloon, this September might just be your moment. The city is set to host its first-ever AIA International Hot Air Balloon Fest (HABFest), and it’s shaping up to be one of the most visually stunning and unexpectedly cool events of the year.

From September 4 to 7, 2025, the Central Harbourfront Event Space will be transformed into a vibrant playground of color, music, and sky-high adventure. The festival will feature over a dozen hot air balloons from around the world, including Canada, Germany, the UK, and Japan. Expect everything from classic striped giants to quirky character-shaped inflatables like a panda and a cat.

While free-fly balloon flights aren’t on the menu, tethered rides are, giving festival-goers the chance to gently rise 10 to 20 meters above the city for stunning panoramic views of Victoria Harbour. It’s a rare opportunity to see Hong Kong from a whole new angle, without leaving the ground entirely.

But this isn’t just about balloons. HABFest doubles as a music and lifestyle event, with a nightly concert series dubbed “Music On Air.” The 4-day lineup is stacked with local icons like Joey Yung, Leo Ku, LMF, Novel Fergus, Tyson Yoshi, Gin Lee, and more. Each evening ends with a Balloon Night Glow Show where illuminated balloons will pulse and shimmer in sync with live music, shaping a fairytale-like experience.

HABFest, on Sept 6, will host the AIA Balloon Run — Courtesy of HABFest

Additionally, families will find plenty of entertaining activities to explore, with carnival games, food stalls, and interactive booths scattered throughout the grounds. And on September 6, HABFest will host the AIA Balloon Run, inviting successfully registered families to a morning run and Balloon Fiesta, where a parade of playful hot air balloons will be showcased. Winners of the morning run will receive a complimentary tethered ride experience.

Tickets are available now via HK Ticketing,01 Space, and Trip.com, with early bird prices starting at HK$150 for morning sessions, while bundle packages, starting at HK$680, are available at KKday.

Whether you’re chasing Instagram-worthy moments or just looking for a fun weekend out, this festival ticks all the boxes. So, mark your calendar, grab your camera, and get ready to look up because Hong Kong’s skyline is about to get a whole lot more magical.
