Editor’s pick: March events edition

March in Hong Kong has a particular rhythm. Sport, art and music overlap across the city. Our selection this month moves deliberately across disciplines. From major sporting fixtures to contemporary exhibitions, each offers a different way of stepping into the city’s cultural pulse

ComplexCon Hong Kong

ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026 is taking place on 21 and 22 March at AsiaWorld-Expo, with Complex Live! delivering massive headliners: Yeat on Saturday for his debut Asia performance and Jennie on Sunday for her debut performance in the city. But ComplexCon is not just concerts, but a full immersion where street culture, fashion and music intersect.

Flower Market at AIA Vitality Park

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Henderson Land Development collaborates with Australian artist Cj Hendry to present the “Henderson Land x Cj Hendry Flower Market” at AIA Vitality Park.

Entry is free by reservation, and visitors are invited to take home a flower.

Gold by Serakai Studio opens exhibition Certainly

Between 20 March and 3 May, Serakai Studio inaugurates its new Wong Chuk Hang venue, Gold, with the exhibition “Certainly”. Curated by Tobias Berger, the show draws inspiration from La Monte Young’s 1960 instruction-based works and reflects on uncertainty as a generative force in art-making. Artists including South Ho Siu Nam and Richard Serra respond through varied media. Housed in a converted former bank and jewellery shop, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Hong Kong Trading Card Show 2026

From 14 to 15 March, the Hong Kong Trading Card Show takes place at AsiaWorld-Expo, bringing together over 150 exhibitors from Hong Kong and abroad. Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh! and sports trading cards circulate across tables as buying, selling and swapping. In recent years, trading cards have evolved into both investment vehicles and repositories of generational memory. With VIP early access and family ticket options, the fair welcomes both seasoned collectors and first-time enthusiasts.

HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong

From 6 to 8 March 2026, LIV Golf Hong Kong returns to Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling. While world-class players competing on the course remain the headline attraction, the Savour by LIV Golf programme arguably adds a second layer of interest. Curated by Future Green, chefs Christian Mongendre, Shane Osborn and Gavin Chin will take turns presenting live demonstrations. Their focus on sustainable sourcing, waste reduction and efficient kitchen management transforms environmental responsibility into something tangible.

White Cube

White Cube is staging parallel exhibitions of new work by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui in Hong Kong and Seoul – his first-ever shows with the gallery. From 25 March to 9 May, this new and unprecedented body of work will be unveiled at White Cube Hong Kong and Art Basel Hong Kong. Known for monumental wall-based works composed of recycled bottle caps, this new series places equal emphasis on both sides of the sculptures so the richly textured compositions are designed to be appreciated from front and back. The Hong Kong presentation also includes two specially commissioned works that incorporate local context into his ongoing reflections on material circulation and cultural transformation.
