Hong Kong Events Calendar 2027
2027 begins on 1 January 2027. Every date on this page is published by the body that runs the event, and it is presented as the year ahead rather than as events already under way. Two months are far enough along to have their own pages. January opens with New Year's Day racing and closes with the Lunar New Year fairs opening on 31 January; February is shaped entirely by Chinese New Year, which falls on 6–9 February 2027. March to December are not listed yet: a month is added when its dates are confirmed and sourced, so a month that is not linked here has nothing to show you rather than an empty list. If you are planning a Peak visit around one of these dates, the month pages say which events are on the hill and which need a trip of their own.

Hong Kong general holidays in 2027

| Date | Day | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| 1 January | Friday | New Year's Day |
| 6 February | Saturday | Lunar New Year's Day |
| 8 February | Monday | The third day of Lunar New Year |

Lunar New Year's Day falls on Saturday 6 February 2027. Because the second day of the new year falls on a Sunday, the fourth day — Tuesday 9 February — is the gazetted general holiday in its place, and Monday 8 February is the third day.
No general holiday falls in August 2027, and none falls in November 2027. That is an enumeration of the seventeen dates above, not a gap in the list.
