Sham Shui Po Events Calendar

This is the hub for what is on in Sham Shui Po. The district's calendar is markets-led rather than arena-led, so the year is built from the two FEHD Chinese New Year fairs in January and February, the Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn district carnivals, the August Computer Festival at the Golden Computer Arcade, and the layers that run all year - Apliu Street, the fabric and wholesale streets, the D2 Place weekend markets, the temple and heritage sites, and the courses and guided walks. Start with 2027, the year ahead, or browse the current year and the years before it.

History

Populated for at least 2000 years according to archeological evidence the history of Sham Shui Po is long and deep but poorly documented. Having been a poor area for much of the 20th century little attention was given to it but now that has become developed and busy, though still not as prosperous as some other parts of Hong Kong, people have begun to seek it's history.

Originally a coastal settlement before reclamation brought it inland it was close to the important peninsular of Tak Kok Tsui with it's Cosmopolitan Dock, now since long gone of course. The last of the connection with the sea disappeared in the 1970s when the Nam Cheong Street nullah, or concrete stream, was covered over and today all that remains of it is the wide street which now runs past the open green park.
