Hong Kong

Spring in Hong Kong means one thing: festivals – and lots of them! The much-loved Cheung Chau Bun Festival runs from 5-6 May, marking the start of a non-stop season of arts, culture, and sporting events across the city for many Indian travellers planning their summer vacations.

Held annually on the charming outlying island of Cheung Chau, this iconic event transforms the slow-paced fishing village into a whirlwind of colour, tradition, and high-flying fun. With lively parades, age-old rituals, and quirky customs unique to Hong Kong, it’s no wonder the festival draws thousands of visitors from near and far each year.

From Buns to Beats: Top Hong Kong Events This Spring

A cornerstone of Hong Kong’s cultural calendar, the Cheung Chau Bun Festival is steeped in folklore and history. Recognised as part of China’s national list of intangible cultural heritage since 2011, it honours the sea god Pak Tai, who is said to have saved the island from a deadly plague in the 18th century. Today, it continues to enchant visitors with Taoist ceremonies, lion dances, and its signature event: the thrilling bun-scrambling competition. Here are a few festival highlights:

Climbing Carnival – 27 April 2025

Immersing visitors in bun tower fun, the Climbing Carnival (12 pm-6 pm) promises an exciting afternoon of stall games, handicrafts, and variety shows.

Piu Sik Parade – 5 May 2025

One of the festival’s most anticipated events, the Piu Sik Parade, draws thousands of onlookers each year. During this vibrant spectacle, children dressed as deities, public figures, and pop-culture icons appear to “float” above the crowds in a vibrant, carnival-like procession.

Bun-Scrambling Competition Final – 5-6 May 2025

At midnight, the legendary Bun-Scrambling Competition begins. In this whimsical event, 12 climbers race up a roughly 14-metre tower covered in lucky buns (ping on bao), grabbing as many as they can. Higher buns earn more points, and the top scorer wins. Meanwhile, the competitor with the most buns earns the playful title of “Full Pockets of Lucky Buns.”

Nightfall Celebration: A Dazzling Drone Show

Beyond Cheung Chau, spring also brings Labour Day Golden Week, running (1 to 5 May), filling the city with festive energy. Highlights include the celebration of Tin Hau (20 April); Buddha’s Birthday (5 May); and the Tam Kung Festival (5 May), traditionally observed by maritime communities.

To mark the occasion, an immersive 12-minute drone show will light up the night sky at 8 pm on 1 May, set to newly composed music and framed by Hong Kong’s iconic skyline. For the best views, head to the Wan Chai Temporary Promenade.

Feel the Pulse: More from Hong Kong’s Cultural Beat

Alongside the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, an exciting lineup of events comes together as part of Cultural Beat – a citywide initiative that celebrates the arts, crafts, and traditions that give Hong Kong its one-of-a-kind rhythm.

Among the highlights:

  • Buddha Bathing Ceremony at Po Lin Monastery (29 April-5 May)

Step into serenity with this peaceful tradition, where visitors pour water over Buddha statues in a symbolic act of renewal.

  • Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races (7-8 June)

Feel the adrenaline as teams paddle in sync during this high-energy showdown of speed, colour, and tradition.

  • Tam Kung Festival @ Eastern District 2025 (29 April-7 May)

Soak up the colour and spirit of Hong Kong, with Cantonese opera, a parade featuring lion and dragon dances, and an international lion dance competition to honour sea god Tam Kung.
