Local Leisure Tour — Yuet Wo Sauce Garden 3.0

Founded in 1945 by the Pong family from Foshan, Guangdong, Yuet Wo is one of Hong Kong's last surviving traditional sauce gardens with over 80 years of heritage. It is the only sauce garden in Hong Kong that owns its own wine-steaming facility, producing a full range of naturally brewed soy sauces, vinegars, wines, and condiments entirely in-house — a rarity in today's industrialised food landscape. Now led by its third-generation successor Jack, Yuet Wo has managed to strike a balance between preserving time-honoured brewing techniques and adapting to modern demands. The factory's sun-drying yard, where sauces are left to ferment and mature under natural sunlight, remains a centrepiece of its traditional production process. With land resumption looming over the factory site, this may be one of the last opportunities to experience Yuet Wo's iconic production floor up close. As part of the 'Local Leisure Tour' series, this guided visit invites participants to walk through the sauce garden's production line, learn about the history of Hong Kong's soy sauce industry, and hear the story of how one family has kept this craft alive across generations. Each participant will receive a complimentary Yuet Wo sauce product. Previous editions of the tour have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the public, selling out quickly and drawing participants keen to connect with authentic Hong Kong food culture before it disappears.

FEEL JAZZ FEST

A boundaryless music festival is unfolding across the city. FEEL JAZZ FEST is a decentralised jazz festival running throughout the entire month of May 2026 (1–31 May), initiated by Within Jazz Culture and co-organised by Alto Plus Entertainment. Rather than anchoring itself to a single venue or stage, the festival spreads jazz across Hong Kong's urban fabric — from the everyday streets of Central and Sai Ying Pun, to the nocturnal rhythms of Tsim Sha Tsui, and all the way to the coastline of Sai Kung. Music becomes a process, not a destination. Centred around the curatorial question "What Is Jazz?", the festival invites everyone to answer in their own way — through vinyl listening sessions, bar conversations, live improvised performances, and dancing. When "not understanding" is no longer a barrier, feeling becomes the entry point. The festival connects six bars and cultural venues into a scattered yet resonant network. Starting from HK$420 per ticket, public sales began on 27 April 2026 at 10:00 AM. Founded by Yui Yu — a curator from Taiwan based in Hong Kong — the festival grew from a deeply personal experience of reconnecting with life through jazz in a hidden alley bar. She later founded "What a Jazzy Day" to curate jazz information in Chinese, building an accessible entry point for new listeners.

A Chance Encounter with Gentle Light - Jimmy Liao 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition

Spanning over ten thousand days and twenty-five years, Jimmy Liao's works have connected with us through picture books, films, music, and various other forms—from the fateful crossings in 'Turn Left, Turn Right' to the imaginary journeys in 'The Underground' and the pursuit of longing in 'The View of Love'. These familiar images and words have become gentle imprints in many hearts. This March, Jimmy's gentle light will shine at Harbour City Gallery. Officially authorized by Jimmy Liao's brand and co-organized by Meizhi and Zuan & Pi, the Hong Kong exhibition 'A Chance Encounter with Gentle Light' centers around 'states of life' as its theme. The venue is divided into three areas, inviting visitors to explore Jimmy's world through flat surfaces, light and shadow, and three-dimensional installations, discovering their own life circumstances and emotional resonance. The exhibition design reflects three stages of life and employs various media to deliver unique sensory experiences. Relief techniques give the artworks a tangible warmth; glow-in-the-dark effects emerge subtly in darkness, resembling the flickering gentle light in our memories. A puzzle concept runs throughout—visitors can collect stamps from various parts of the gallery to complete a unique commemorative card. The exhibition will also launch a series of merchandise, including special edition vinyl figures, pin badge sets, eco-friendly bags, T-shirts, plastic standees, collectible cards, magnetic light boxes, and plush toys, allowing that gentle light to continue accompanying visitors in every corner of their daily lives.

THE ISLAND-ONIGASHIMA: Ayako Rokkaku Solo Exhibition

Landmark proudly presents Art LANDMARK, a new art experience featuring world-renowned artist Ayako Rokkaku in collaboration with GALLERY TARGET. This exhibition showcases her largest interactive art installation to date - "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA". As a highlight of Hong Kong Art March, the Landmark Atrium will be transformed into a vibrant, sensory art experience space from now until April 17, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in this enchanting and mysterious artistic island. Inspired by the Japanese folk tale "ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku drew connections between Hong Kong and Japan's shared island geography, incorporating elements from the Japanese fairy tale "Momotaro". The installation blurs the line between dreams and reality, artist and audience. The artwork, meticulously crafted with soft forms and various textured fabrics, reaches a height of six meters and creates a museum-like interactive zone. Visitors are encouraged to touch, feel, and even lean against the artwork, weaving their own artistic journey according to personal preferences. Inside the installation, there's a unique passage displaying 12 wooden sculptures for close viewing, with 11 paintings hidden around the art installation. These carefully selected treasures are non-commercial pieces, designed purely to create a layered art exploration experience. To celebrate the official unveiling of "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku performed a fascinating finger painting demonstration on site, allowing the audience to witness her signature characters and landscapes come to life as she applied paint directly with her hands, embodying her artistic philosophy of "connecting creation through intuition".

Air Giants 'Dreaming Cat World' @ West Kowloon Family FUN Arts Festival 2026

Three giant cats have landed at West Kowloon — and they're here to nap in style. What's better than one cat? Three! A family of oversized, slumbering feline sculptures has settled along the waterfront lawn of the West Kowloon Cultural District Art Park, curled up by Victoria Harbour in a dreamy, purring reverie. As they doze, their tails sway gently; give them a stroke and you'll feel a deep rumble and a soft heartbeat beneath the surface. These luminous, plush giants glow day and night, inviting visitors to share in their blissful dreams. Originally commissioned by the Manchester Museum, 'Dreaming Cat World' marks its first-ever exhibition outside the United Kingdom — and arrives with two brand-new family members in tow. The installation is created by Air Giants, a UK-based studio renowned for crafting large-scale, soft interactive sculptures that bring fantastical creatures into everyday life. Come meet the cat family this March at the West Kowloon Family FUN Arts Festival — an unforgettable outdoor experience for all ages!

Bon A Petite Art Exhibition

Every 'Art March,' Hong Kong immerses itself in a rich artistic atmosphere. While public attention often focuses on large-scale art fairs with magnificent works, the often million-dollar large-scale masterpieces can intimidate newcomers to the art scene. Located in Sheung Wan, 13a New Street Art Gallery takes an alternative approach, launching the new group exhibition 'Bon A Petite' from March 19 to April 5, 2026 (Wednesday to Sunday), presenting small original works and limited edition art toys from eight contemporary artists, allowing art to integrate into daily life in a more accessible and warm manner. 'Bon A Petite' breaks the framework of high art thresholds. The exhibition's name plays on the French phrase for 'enjoy your meal,' inviting viewers to enjoy art with a relaxed mindset as if savoring fine cuisine. With 'Petite (small)' as the core concept, it brings together eight contemporary artists from Japan, New York, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, featuring bite-sized, affordably priced originals and limited edition art toys. Curator Ruby Fung shares the concept: 'During major exhibitions like Art Basel, audiences are often overwhelmed by large-scale, high-priced works that are difficult to relate to. This exhibition deliberately selects finely detailed, reasonably priced works that not only easily integrate into modern homes but also possess the collectible value of originals, providing an elegant and pressure-free starting point for newcomers to the art world.' The exhibition offers an alternative choice for 'Art March,' with styles spanning from trendy cartoons and modern sculptures to traditional crafts, allowing aspiring collectors with limited budgets to experience the joy of collecting fine art.

Ongoing & long-running

Ancient Egypt Unveiled: Treasures from Egyptian Museums

The Hong Kong Palace Museum presents the largest, most comprehensive, and longest-running display of ancient Egyptian treasures in Hong Kong. This landmark exhibition features 250 precious artefacts from seven major Egyptian museums and the Saqqara archaeological site, organized in collaboration with the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt. The exhibition traces 5,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization through four thematic sections: 'The Land of Pharaohs', 'The World of Tutankhamun', 'The Secrets of Saqqara', and 'Ancient Egypt and the World'. Highlights include colossal statues of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, gold ornaments, large-scale coffins, animal mummies, and latest archaeological discoveries. All artefacts are displayed in Hong Kong for the first time, with many exhibited outside Egypt for the first time.

Cha Chaan Teng Encyclopedia - The Invisible Design Exhibition

Hong Kong's iconic cha chaan teng (tea restaurants) have been woven into the daily fabric of local life for generations. The design elements associated with these establishments have evolved into significant symbols of local culture, gaining widespread popularity both locally and internationally through retro-inspired designs and cultural products in recent years. Yet this widely recognized cultural symbol remains simultaneously familiar and foreign to Hong Kong people—familiar because cha chaan teng dining and spaces have become internalized as part of Hong Kong identity, yet foreign because this very closeness often causes us to overlook the extensive cultural context that shapes it. AIRSIDE GATE33 Art Space, dedicated to cultivating local culture, breaks from traditional group exhibition frameworks this 'Art March' by inviting architectural historian and architect Charles Lai (UK) and product designer and community engagement planner Kay Chan Wan Ki to present this exhibition through a 'research-based curation' approach. The exhibition brings together cross-disciplinary creators including architects, product designers, graphic designers, woodworking artisans, academic researchers, filmmakers, and chefs. Using 'design' as the core entry point, it comprehensively deconstructs the 'cha chaan teng' through multi-sensory experiences involving sight, sound, touch, and smell. Through methods of 'recreation' and 're-creation,' research findings are transformed into rich and diverse exhibition content across seven zones, mapping out the unique position of 'cha chaan teng' in Hong Kong's popular culture. Staying true to GATE33 Art Space's emphasis on interactive experiences, the exhibition features two major immersive experiences. Visitors can personally 'answer phone orders,' decoding the unique 'order-taking' codes exclusive to Hong Kong tea restaurants. You can also don a waiter's uniform and experience the 1:1 scale 'beverage station' workflow, preparing the globally renowned 'lightning-fast meals' while understanding the efficiency secrets behind them. Admission fee: HK$20 (from April 1st onwards)

Blooming: The Art of Gardens in East and West

The exhibition brings together 106 sets of selected paintings and artifacts from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Palace of Versailles, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Organized around the themes of garden creation, garden tours, and garden appreciation, it takes visitors on a journey through the garden aesthetics of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, French kings, and other historical figures. Gardens across different times and regions vary in design and style, yet they all reflect the core value of gardens: a tranquil recreational space with natural charm where people can relax and contemplate. This special exhibition will be held at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from April 24 to July 29, 2026, and will be free to the public. The exhibition features masterpieces including Monet's 'Water Lilies' and 'The Water Lily Pond' alongside various garden-themed paintings from renowned masters, offering visitors a fascinating comparative experience of Eastern and Western garden aesthetics. Visiting hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Wednesday and Friday, and from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. The museum is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays) and the first two days of the Lunar New Year.
