Springtime is here, and if you’re a seasoned Hongkonger, you know what that means: the Hong Kong Flower Show is back! Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Department, the Hong Kong Flower Show is a staple in the city’s annual events calendar, bringing together hundreds of organisations and dozens of exhibitors for dazzling floral displays to delight and thrill fans of gardening and flowers. Here’s everything you need to know.

When is the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026 open?

You can visit the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026 for a period of 10 days from March 20 to 29; the event’s opening hours are from 9am to 9pm daily.

What’s the theme for this year’s Hong Kong Flower Show?

Guests can look forward to a programme designed around ‘A Fragrant Journey Through Hong Kong’, featuring the sun-loving stock as the theme flower. Native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, stocks (Matthiola incana) are perennial fragrant flowers with tall clusters of four-petalled, cross-shaped blooms and a stocky appearance.

How much are the tickets?

General admission costs $14 per person. Concession tickets – available to children aged four to 14, full-time students, seniors aged 60 or above, and people with disabilities and their carers – cost $7 per person. On Mondays to Fridays, the senior citizens aged 60 or above and people with disabilities and their carers can enjoy free admission.

How do I get to the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026?

Seeing as the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026 is held at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, getting to the venue is straightforward with multiple transportation options available. Make your way to either Tin Hau MTR station or Causeway Bay MTR station and follow the signposted exit to get to Victoria Park. Expect a short distance of walking from the station to your destination. Franchised bus routes and trams also have designated stops at Victoria Park, if that’s a more convenient option based on your starting point.

What’s there to see and do at the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026?

Details on the kinds of floral exhibitions we can expect to see are still under wraps, so all that’s mentioned so far is we will experience a range of potted plants, stunning floral arrangements, and expansive landscape displays. If previous years are anything to go by, visitors can look forward to major installations that feature an abundance of flowers presented as a ‘sea’, thoughtful arrangements alongside themed props, grand attractions with a sense of place, and carefully landscaped plots. Also, commercial stalls will sell flowers and horticultural products, so those with green thumbs can stock up on goodies.

Aside from marvelling at floral displays, the Hong Kong Flower Show 2026 will also present a range of educational and recreational activities, such as a student drawing competition, photo competition, plant exhibit competition, music and cultural performances, floral art demonstrations, workshops, guided tours, and family-friendly games, so there’s plenty to pack your day with for a busy, engaged visit.

Is there anything I can get for free?

As a matter of fact, yes! It’s practically tradition at this point for organisers to distribute leftover flowers and plants to the public to take home after the Hong Kong Flower Show has ended. Usually, these free giveaways will draw a crowd, so come prepared.
