Stanley & Hong Kong Events – November 2026

November 2026 is the busiest month on Stanley's own calendar — the Hong Kong Open Wingfoil Championships come to Stanley Main Beach, and the LCSD beach-race season starts in Stanley Bay — and it also carries a full run of Hong Kong city events, from the last day of the Wine & Dine Festival to the Oxfam Trailwalker. Dates below are labelled Confirmed, Provisional or Not confirmed according to how many independent sources back them.

WHAT'S ON

Stanley runs on the seasons. The market lanes are open every day, the beach season runs April to October, and the big set pieces are the dragon boats in June, the watersports regattas through spring and autumn, and the Christmas market at Stanley Plaza in December. These calendar pages carry the dated events — Stanley's own and the city-wide ones worth a trip into town.
