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.
