Sham Shui Po Events Calendar 2027
What is actually on in Sham Shui Po through 2027, month by month. The district runs on markets rather than arenas, 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 year-round layers - Apliu Street, the fabric and wholesale streets, the D2 Place weekend markets and the courses and walks that run all year. Click any month for the full listings, dates, venues and practical notes.
