The summers are here, and it’s time for the perfect family vacation! If you are one of those who love activities more than chilling, Hong Kong may be the ideal destination for you to travel. The highlight of the season is the historic Dragon Boat Race. Don't miss the two-day sporting event on June 15 and 16, where 170 teams with 4,000 athletes will compete at the International Dragon Boat Race against the stunning backdrop of Victoria Harbour. Teams will also dress up as various characters for a colorful fancy dress competition. For foodies, there’ll be local craft beers, desserts, and ice-cold drinks, allowing you to soak in the cultural brilliance of Hong Kong. The excitement doesn’t stop there. A newly curated Drone Show will light up Victoria Harbour on June 10 and there’ll also be a Pyrotechnic Display on June 15 — the first day of the Dragon Boat Races.
Making its debut on June 1 and 2, the popular Korean festival Waterbomb will feature water fights and live performances by popular Korean artistes, Jay Park, Rain and Jessi, among others. On June 8 and 9, the celebrations continue with S20, the largest water music festival, with DJs and artistes performing at the Central Harbour Front.
With something for everyone to enjoy, look no further than Hong Kong for an amazing summer vacation to beat the Kolkata heat and enjoy with family.
