Your little ghouls and ghosties may have been put to rest for another year, but there’s still plenty happening in HK to keep all your babas – and all you mamas – amused! Here’s our Weekender round-up of what to do next week…
Picnic In The Park
If you’re looking for a great family day out, look no further! Picnic In The Park is Hong Kong’s largest live music and dance festival… and with two stages this year, it’s just got even larger! There will be bands, singers, dance troupes and entertainers a-plenty, market stalls from local businesses, restaurant booths dishing up yummy nibbles, a special Kids Zone to keep the littlies amused – and, the best bit (!), Sassy Mama will have our own table too! We look forward to meeting you all there!
Where: Siena Park, Discovery Bay
When: 5 November, 11am-9.30pm
How much: Free!
Puppet magic
The Vietnamese Thang Long Puppet Troupe is bringing its very special blend of outdoor puppet magic to Hong Kong’s shores as part of the Enchanting Arts Of Asia festival. Set against the stunning backdrop of Victoria Harbour, a waist-deep pool has been specially built in front of the Cultural Centre for the show, which sees traditional puppets re-enact legends and scenes from Vietnamese life to live music and folk songs. You’ll be just as enthralled as your little ones!

When: 4 November, 8.15pm; 5 November, 3pm

Ho ho ho!
We guess it really does come round quicker every year – Santa’s Sports Day, part of the SCMP’s Operation Santa Claus charity-fundraising efforts, promises to be a day of fun for the whole family. Featuring crowd favourites like three-legged races, a tug-of-war and a reindeer chair race, you can expect lots of silly costumes, multiple appearances from reindeers, elves and even Santa himself and lots of money to be raised for the good cause.
