What’s on this weekend… 

It’s time to accept the weather forecast and admit that we’re in for a rainy September! But by no means should we admit defeat on the events front – oh, no, we have plenty lined up for the weekend that’ll deter you from just snuggling up with a blanket in front of the TV (no judgement if you do!). The world’s biggest outdoor electronic music festival is making it’s way to Hong Kong so be sure to grab your tickets, wine and dine at Mercato (on us!) and check out an awesome arts and music line up happening on Kowloon.
