It’s that time of the year! Don’t miss out on these pop-up winter markets and cool gigs on the weekend
The weekend is always a fun time for brunches in Hong Kong, as well as Saturday happy hours and dinner buffets. But, in honour of the holiday season, we think it’s time to find more Christmasy things to do this weekend in Hong Kong (because we don’t tolerate the coldness for nothing right?), so here is our list.
Things to do this weekend in Hong Kong: 15-16 December
The Wine and Wares Christmas Craft Fair
Featuring live music by Paul Roth Music, Aileen Alonzo and Vintage Vinyl HK, the Wine and Wares Christmas Craft Fair is ready to prepare you for Christmas on 15-16 December with delicious food, free wine tasting and a chance to browse through art work, clay art, vinyl records and hand-crafted jewellery.

Garage Society x Chi Wing Dog Base Winter Fair
Coworking space Garage Society is excited to have their winter fair on 15 December in collaboration with Chi Wing Dog Base.

Tempalay Live in Hong Kong
Are you in the loop about the wide selection of Hong Kong concerts in December? One of the highlights is definitely Japanese indie/psychedelic band Tempalay who is playing on 15 December. Most known for their intriguing tropical and psychedelic tunes, Tempalay’s music travels among different cultures and genres. Definitely one of the most exciting things to do this weekend in Hong Kong.

Take a day trip to Kowloon City
Calling all food lovers and photographers! Instead of going to an event or a concert, you can also go out for a walk to discover the city further. Kowloon City is packed with delicious Thai restaurants, Cantonese dessert spots, parks and temples. It’s a great neighbourhood for you to explore local culture, and also, no more nightmare of getting stuck in the bustling Central or Causeway Bay on the weekend.
Minimalist Group Show – Flavin, Judd, McCracken, Sandback
Running until 21 December, the Minimalist Group Show is one of the most exciting art exhibitions in Hong Kong this month. Showcasing the influential works by four American artists associated with defining minimalism, each artist’s work will be featured in a single room respectively with a focused presentation. Expect an immersive experience while understanding how they utilise different forms, materials, colours and space as an minimalist artist.
