Coffee Agenda 2026 @ PMQ

PMQ turns into a four-day coffee playground — the 11th Coffee Agenda, themed Adventure. More than fifty coffee-life brands from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Macau, and overseas take over the creative hub. On the ground plaza you look for your coffee personality: pour-over, milk coffee, signature drinks, and siphon, with demos from Tanpong Songpanich (2023 World Coffee in Good Spirits runner-up), Roosa Jalonen (2024 UK Barista Champion), and Sherry Hsu (2022 World Brewers Cup Champion). Four ways in: - #Personality — plaza tastings and those champion demos. - #Lifestyle — Coffee × Zen, Movie, Art, and Craftmanship. - #Professional — Gen C baristas Gentle Tam, Pearl Lau, and Wilson Chung at QUBE, plus Hong Kong’s first ORIGAMI CUP and the CP-Meiji × Ringo Cup. - #Journey — more than ten local roasters, cuppings, and the path from seed to cup. Eat between cups: 大孖點心 shrimp-and-pork siu mai, 啡濃 satay beef macaroni, doughbyhand × Justbread bagels, and Magnetic Bakery’s signature soft-centre Basque cheesecake. Fellow gear if you want to take the ritual home. Side quests include a Coffeeder coffee walk, a multi-sensory tasting, roast-your-own-beans, a latte-art NFC card, and a day as a coffee judge. One wristband, one person, one date — same-day re-entry is fine. Tasting vouchers work only at designated stalls during the event, and they run out. Packages are limited; purchases are final. On-site sales start Friday at 3 PM (a small number of tickets and tasting sets; Visa, Mastercard, WeChat Pay, Alipay, PayMe). Cash is not accepted. 📅 Fri 16 Oct 2026, 3:00–7:00 PM · Sat 17–Mon 19 Oct, 11:00 AM–7:00 PM 📍 PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central 🎟 Early-bird day pass HK$35 (POPTICKET through 15 Oct, 6 PM) · standard HK$45 · Package A (day ticket + tasting cup) HK$110 · Package B (day ticket + cup + tasting voucher) HK$150 🔗 https://pmq.hk/c5pJJ

Cathay • WestK Jazz Fest 2026

Cathay • WestK Jazz Fest 2026

West Kowloon spends ten days in November on the harbourfront — jazz indoors, jazz on the grass, and a breeze off the water. The eighth Cathay • WestK Jazz Fest is the biggest yet, and the first to run across two weekends. More than a hundred players, visiting and local, spread over the Xiqu Centre, Freespace, Wonderland, and three lawns. Ticketed rooms and free stages sit side by side, so you can leave a seated concert and end up on a picnic blanket. A few nights worth locking in: Diana Krall opens at the Xiqu Centre Grand Theatre on 13 Nov. Cory Wong shares a bill with harmonica player Cy Leo on 15 Nov. Stacey Kent plays two sets at Freespace on 17 Nov. Kenny G closes the festival at Wonderland on 24 Nov — his first Hong Kong show in 18 years, and WestK’s first collaboration with Montreux Jazz Festival China. Also on the bill: Song Yi Jeon, Francesca Tandoi, Teriver Cheung, and JACE. When the volume is enough, the lawn beside M+ is a free wellness pocket. Slow down, then walk back into it. Food and drink stalls stay open around the art park. 16 and 23 Nov are off. The other days in that window are on. 📅 13–15, 17–22 & 24 Nov 2026 📍 West Kowloon Cultural District — Xiqu Centre, Freespace, Wonderland, and the art-park lawns 🎟 On sale from 29 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM, at Cityline and the Xiqu Centre box office. E-tickets. Under 6s are not admitted. Free lawn shows run alongside the ticketed ones. 🔗 https://www.westk.hk/tc/event/cathay-westk-jazz-fest
