Hungry Ghost Festival / Ghost Month 2027
📅 Monday, August 2, to Tuesday, August 31, 2027 — the seventh lunar month, which ends when the eighth opens on September 1. Ghost Day, the fifteenth of the month, is Monday, August 16.
🕒 Hours: No published hours: this is a lunar month, not a ticketed event.
For one month the lane's paper and joss stock is what the whole city is buying — the one time the antiquarian trade and the everyday trade point the same way.
📍 Location: City-wide. The temple streets of Sheung Wan and Hollywood Road carry the densest street-level paper and joss trade.
