Hong Kong is getting into the spooky spirit this October, as the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) launches its first citywide Halloween Month on October 17.
Five neighbourhoods will host cosplay street parties across three weekends, with activities ranging from live DJ performances and costume parades to trick-or-treating and family-friendly fun.
The festivities kick off this weekend and continue on October 24, leading up to the biggest Halloween celebrations on October 31. Visitors are encouraged to put on their favourite costumes and join the fun.
