The best events happening in Hong Kong this March

Returning for its third consecutive year, FunFest takes on a distinctively family-friendly approach to performance art, with a programme that spans everything from interactive outdoor installations to immersive theatre and live performances. Also returning is the popular FunFest Market where visitors to the West Kowloon Cultural District can browse foods and specialty products for free while stepping into retro photo ops, admiring dance installations and pop-up performances, and much more! 

A highlight is the sprawling outdoor installation, ‘The Cats that Slept for a Thousand Years’, created by UK creative studio Air Giants and originally displayed at the Manchester Museum. Hong Kong’s feline display features the original 10-m-long cat installation plus two big cats and a kitten, blending sound and light with interactive elements against a backdrop of soft and rhythmic purring. Meanwhile, WestK FunFest 2026 also sports a robust theatre programme, including an award-winning puppet theatre play entitled ‘Rules of Summer’ by acclaimed Australian company Spare Parts Puppet Theatre. Tickets are now on sale at westk.hk. 

In a landmark collaboration between the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) and the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) of Egypt, 250 treasures and relics from the land of the Pharaohs will be on display in Hong Kong for nine and a half months. Named ‘Ancient Egypt Unveiled’, this exhibition is the largest, most comprehensive, and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian artefacts Hong Kong has ever seen, displaying archaeological finds loaned straight from Egypt, many of which are being shown outside of their home country for the very first time.

Some of our favourite highlights include a set of canopic jars used to store internal organs in the mummification and burial process; statues of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and Rameses II; painted coffins of wood and stone; a Book of the Dead papyrus scroll; and even an ancient Egyptian toilet seat.

Swing by the gift shop to find a wide range of Egypt-related merch, including an adorable series of blind box plushies created by HKPM which depict pharaohs, canopic jars, mummies, and more.
