About this event
The dates shown rest on a solid annual pattern and are unconfirmed. The festival is organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board with the Hong Kong China Dragon Boat Association around the Tuen Ng Festival, which gov.hk lists as Wednesday 9 June 2027, with the international races held on a June weekend off the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. In 2025 the races ran on 7 to 8 June with fringe festivities from 31 May, and in 2026 an expanded festival ran from 19 June to 1 July with races on 27 to 28 June, so the exact 2027 race weekend may differ from the window shown. HKTB had not published 2027 dates in the sources opened for this pass.
