Lan Kwai Fong and Soho Street Carnivals

One of the main events of the Hong Kong Food and Wine Year is the upcoming Street Carnival in the city’s hottest partying and dining destinations. From 6-8 November Hong Kong is having a two-day street carnival where you can wine, dine and party the night away with yummy food stalls, beer bongs, sparkling wine, live music and so much more.

The Lan Kwai Fong Street Carnival (map) is a must if you are in Hong Kong and is a great experience for the whole family. Shake it to Latin American tunes and explore the 80 booths selling everything from food and wine to handicrafts and toys for children. There’s a colourful pool of entertainers throughout the two days, including jugglers, clowns, magicians, dancers and face painters. Bring the kids in the afternoon then party all night long right after!
