WestK Jazz Fest returns for its eighth edition on 13 November 2026, expanding across two weekends in the West Kowloon Cultural District. This year’s ten-day festival runs on 13–15, 17–22 and 24 November, with nearly 50 programmes covering jazz, funk, pop and musical collaborations.
International names such as Kenny G and Diana Krall share the bill with Hong Kong performers, including harmonica player Cy Leo and singer JACE. Visitors can enjoy outdoor concerts for free or book tickets for headline shows at Freespace, Xiqu Centre and Wonderland.
Free Concerts And Outdoor Activities At West Kowloon
The festival offers more than 30 free music performances on 21 and 22 November, with local and international musicians taking to outdoor stages at Art Park and other locations across West Kowloon Cultural District.
The weekend programme also includes food and drink stalls, so visitors can spend the afternoon enjoying live music and refreshments by Victoria Harbour without purchasing a concert ticket.
This year also introduces the Music Healing Zone at M+ Green Lawn, a free wellbeing space featuring music, meditation and mindful listening activities. Organised with local community and wellbeing groups, the programme offers a quieter alternative to the main stages.
