WestK Christmas Town 2025 has officially opened on December 12 and is now running at the Art Park in West Kowloon until January 11, 2026. Set across the outdoor lawns by Victoria Harbour, the event is designed for easy walks, casual visits, and relaxed evenings.

With multiple zones and programmes running throughout the site, this guide breaks down everything happening across WestK Christmas Town.
