7 Halloween events in Hong Kong 2020

In the blink of an eye, it’s the spooky season of the year again! This year with Covid-19, we might not be able to see the street of Lan Kwai Fong crowded with people in costumes, but there are still a lot of festive events for us to celebrate the Halloween spirit. 

Here we have the ultimate guide of 7 events happening around town. Whether you are looking for a party to dress up with your haunting attire or a unique and different experience, we’ve got you covered.

1. Doggy Halloween at Stazione Novella

Don’t feel like dressing yourself up in a costume this year? Why not dress up your pooch!

This year, the Italian wine bar, Stazione Novella, is hosting a Halloween party specifically for our four-legged friends from 9 am to 12 pm on the day of the holiday. If you’re a pet owner and want to celebrate this ghostly holiday with your beloved pooch, it’s time for you to dress them up in adorable costumes and spend your afternoon with an espresso martini on the house! If you’re a dog lover, then you most definitely can’t miss this party.

2. Te Quiero Mucho ‘Day of the dead’ fiesta

While Halloween focuses on the frightening aspect of death, the Día de Los Muertos (the day of the dead) is here to remind us of the importance of celebrating life and the living. This year, Te Quiero Mucho (TQM, which means ‘I love you a lot’) in Sheung Wan is here to celebrate the day of the dead with us.

With two hours of free-flow booze, come try out the specially curated limited-time cocktails made with Mexican tequila and taste their signature tacos. In addition, traditional ceramic skull painting will be offered at each table, and it most certainly cannot be missed during your visit!

3. Lost Hong Kong

For those who want to challenge yourself this Halloween, come rack your brain with Lost Hong Kong.

Lost Hong Kong provides a series of reality-based escape rooms with various difficulty levels that are great for a group of friends or family gatherings. The physical adventure game puts you in locked rooms with pre-set scenarios where you have to solve the puzzles and tricks in order to ‘escape’. Each of the 14 daunting themed rooms for you to choose from has its own scary and frightening plots, from escaping from Alcatraz Island to solving the largest-value recorded theft of private property in history.
