When situated in a vibrant and dynamic city such as Hong Kong, you'd be hard-pressed to run out of things to do in your free time, especially in the summer. Take the Central District’s LKF neighbourhood, for example. It's the kind of place that never sleeps nor tires. Here, you’ll never have to settle for just one thing. From its fast-paced nature as an entertainment hub to being a cradle of heritage, thanks to cultural landmarks like Tai Kwun, which encourage you to slow down.
Frankly, you’ll never be bored this summer around the LKF neighbourhood, and beyond. Limitless possibilities await for you to seize the month and make it yours. Here are the best events to check out in Hong Kong in July 2023!

Eve Run Club with Fiona Fang (Jul 4 and 11)
If your idea of fun goes beyond drinking and partying, Fiona Fang hosts the Eve Run Club every Tuesday. It takes avid runners and curious beginners on a scenic sunset jog along the harbour, connecting you with like-minded individuals and getting you moving towards a healthier, more active lifestyle. The activity begins at 6:30 PM at Vitality Park and comprises a warm-up, a sharing session on what it means to “Run with Intent,” and personal goal setting. The run can span three to five kilometres depending on the group and is capped off with a stretch-out session. Before parting, you and your peers get to have time to chit-chat, rehydrate with Eve recovery soda, and connect.
The Eve Run Club is recommended for all types of fitness levels and encourages people to bring their friends along for accountability. Attendees also get a signature strap-around yellow Eve phone case for participation, so your phone remains secure as you run.
Join the Eve Run Club for only HK$60.

WOW Burger Social (Jul 8)
The burger. Who doesn't love it? Its possibilities are endless and its variations countless, from choices of protein and toppings to the type of sauce and buns. It’s practically the most ubiquitous and beloved comfort food out there and hardly causes offence; it’s difficult to get wrong, forgiving when so, yet can easily be made the best by simply using the freshest ingredients.
If you're a self-proclaimed burger fan and agree, then WOW Burger Social would be right up your street. The restaurant is recognised for its juicy, 100% vegetarian burgers (yes, you read that right) – and even the most sceptical of meat-eaters know better to try before knocking them.
This event promises to bring all the booze, beats, and burgers for a gastronomic party that will have you grooving and chowing, as well as sipping concoctions from Codigo Tequila and Young Master Brewery. The party will be held at BaseHall 01 in Connaught Place, with celebrations held between 6 PM - 9 PM.
Tickets to the event are priced at HK$150 each; which includes your entry, a WOW burger pack, and non-stop drinks. Get a ticket via Eventbrite.
