The Tourism Board is set to introduce Hong Kong's inaugural Halloween Month starting October 17. This city-wide event will expand the city's traditional one-day Halloween celebrations found in places like Lan Kwai Fong and major theme parks to more tourist hotspots. Executive director Anthony Lau anticipates an uptick in business following the Mid-Autumn Festival and aims to amplify the festive spirit even further.
The board plans to bring the festival atmosphere to key tourism areas through Hong Kong-style cosplay Halloween parties, large installations, and special offers across Hong Kong. Starting from October 17, visitors can enjoy a variety of Halloween-themed activities in locations such as Chater Road, Lan Kwai Fong, Kai Tak Sports Park, Langham Place, and Mody Road Garden.
For those dressed in costume, free Citybus and tram night rides will be available on Halloween night. An open-top sightseeing bus will visit festive spots on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, while two Halloween-themed trams will connect Causeway Way and Sheung Wan.
