March events in Hong Kong 2024

For the launch of the brand-new Wan Chai Harbourfront Event Space (WCHES), Italian artist Angelo Bonello will be bringing his renowned light art show ‘Run Beyond’ to Hong Kong for the very first time. This cutting-edge, immersive installation has been hosted in key landmarks in Washington D.C., London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Toronto, and more, and soon it will be presented against the backdrop of our very own Victoria Harbour. Expect to see large light silhouettes running and leaping the installation, creating a surreal, dream-like vibe. Catch this immersive art while it’s in town from mid-March to mid-April.

As part of the large-scale outdoor art project Art@Harbour 2024, the international art collective teamLab will present teamLab: Continuous at Tamar Park as well as the Central and Western District promenade. The installation will consist of hundreds of luminous ovoids that continuously change colours based on how visitors interact with them. Dozens of trees in the park will also be lit up to change colours and play sounds in response to the ovoids. See this stunning installation on the lawns of Tamar Park, where they will extend out onto Victoria Harbour to highlight Hong Kong’s vibrant waterfront. 

Art@Harbour 2024 will also see the Science in Art exhibition along the Central and Western District promenade, featuring two interactive art installations called Harbour Cup and Schrödinger’s Bed. Visit the waterfront from March 25 to June 2 to experience these art exhibits for yourself, or check them out now as they’re in the process of being installed.

After the overwhelming popularity of The Peninsula’s collaborative afternoon tea with the Star Ferry, the hotel returns with their Afternoon Tea on the Harbour experience until June 30. Diners can hop aboard a lavishly decorated World Star ferry and enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea package as they sail along Victoria Harbour. The Peninsula’s tea menu provides plenty of savoury bites, such as abalone tart with seaweed cauliflower mousse, ham and mustard seed sandwich, smoked salmon and avocado spread sandwich, and more. As for desserts, guests can indulge in treats like milk tea choux puff, fermented bean curd and peanut brownie with milk chocolate cream, and the hotel’s signature raisin scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam.

Hong Kong escape room, Lost, has joined hands with Lego to present Hong Kong's first-ever Lego themed escape room. Inspired by the Lego City sets, Lost brings the vibrant landscape of the Lego City Police Prison Island to life. With two distinct storylines, players (aged six and above) can either become inmates and find ways to escape prison, or take on the role of prison guards to investigate and prevent the jailbreak. Both rooms incorporate the use of Lego bricks to activate various mechanisms.

Book your tickets from Feb 1 to Jun 30 at Lost's Causeway Bay branch or the Lost Junior New Town Plaza location in Sha Tin. Each ticket also includes a $50 redemption coupon to redeem a special Lego souvenir!

Hong Kong audiences will be able to enjoy the 2023/24 season of The Metropolitan Opera of New York (The Met) from the comfort of our city’s own cinemas. This season opens with the Met premiere of Dead Man Walking by Jake Heggie, and will also include two other contemporary premieres, X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X by Anthony Davis based on the life of the American civil rights leader, and Florencia en el Amazonas by Mexican composer Daniel Catán.

Don’t miss brand-new productions of repertoire classics like Bizet’s Carmen, whose story has been reset in modern-day America, and Verdi’s La Forza del Destino in its first rare appearance at the Met. We’re also looking forward to revivals like Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette and Puccini’s Madama Butterfly starring soprano Asmik Grigorian in her Met debut as the lead Cio-Cio San.

The Foundation for the Arts and Music in Asia (FAMA) is bringing these works to a Hong Kong audience with The Met: Live in HD 2023-24, to be shown across the city at Emperor Cinemas in Central, K11 Art House, Movie Movie in Pacific Place, and Premiere Elements. Each production will be screened at approximately monthly intervals until the end of the year, and the viewing schedule is available on The Met in Hong Kong’s website. Tickets are priced at $290.
