<p>Hong Kong Ballet Artistic Director Septime Webre captures the essence of F. Scott Fitzgerald&#8217;s classic novel, The Great Gatsby, in a wonderful portrayal of life lived to excess in opulent 1920s America &#8211; a tale of never-ending parties, unbridled greed and obsessive desires simmering not far from the surface in high-society New York. Performed against the backdrop of a steamy jazz-infused soundtrack and art deco sets by Tim Yip, dancers along with vocalist E.

<p>When Pu Songling (1640-1715), the Qing dynasty writer, penned <em>Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio</em>, he could scarcely have imagined its popularity would endure through the centuries. Yet, that is precisely what has happened, with the Hong Kong Dance Company soon to recreate the magic of one of its 500-odd stories in a dance performance dubbed <em>L’Amour Immortel</em>. Set to be staged for the third time, the evocative tale follows the love story of Nie Xiaoqian, a beautiful ghost, and Ning Caichen, a scholar.</p>

<p>After a long, challenging year, Hong Kong looks set to ring in the new year with a picturesque pyrotechnic firework display along Victoria Harbour. The heart of the proceedings this year will be Wan Chai’s Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and will feature synchronised LED and laser light displays set to a musical soundtrack.&nbsp;A word of warning though – best head out early to nab the most scenic spots as both sides of the harbour tend to fill up quickly. <em>Locations vary</em>.</p>

<h3>Clockenflap Presents: American Football</h3>
<p>In a bid to build up momentum for the 12th Clockenflap Festival later this year, the event’s organisers have ensured that Hong Kong is suitably soundtracked all summer long, with emo math rock wonders American Football next up to do the honours. The Illinois-based trio-turned-quartet Clockenflap Presents: American Football originally hit the big time back in 1997 and, following a decade-plus hiatus, are now back to rocking out and keeping their many fans happy with such post-emo delights as <em>American Football House</em> and <em>LP3</em>. <em>This Town Needs, 6 Shung Shun St, Yau Tong.

<h3>Hungry Ghost Festival</h3>
<p>In a city with as rich and diverse a food culture as Hong Kong, it’s no wonder that even death does little to diminish the appetites of its residents, with these post-funeral foodies’ passions for partaking celebrated every year in the form of the Hungry Ghost Festival (<em>Yu Lan</em> for the Cantonese conversant). Forever falling on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the festival springs from a local legend that maintains that restless spirits roam the earth on that particular day. In order to escape the wrath of these gallivanting ghouls, it is customary to offer gifts of food and other diverting trinkets. To be on the safe side, have a little demonic dim sum about your person at all times. <em>Locations vary. <a href="http://discoverhongkong.com"><strong>discoverhongkong.com</strong></a></em></p>

<h3>HKTDC Food Expo 2019</h3>
<p>It is surely no coincidence that Hong Kong’s annual mega-cuisinathon – the HKTDC Food Expo – opens its doors on the very same day that carb-deprived corpses and hungry hellspawn are said to roam the city. As ever, the four-day gourmet gala will welcome a vast array of international epicureanminded exhibitors, with this year’s event featuring more than 1,500 victuals vendors from all around the world. With last year’s event said to have attracted in excess of 500,000 visitors, it’s probably wise to pop in early lest you be cheated of your chance to savour such delights as Columbia’s premier coffee beans, Malaysia’s finest fish curry powder and New Zealand’s hottest honey products. <em>Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, 1 Expo Dr, Wan Chai. <a href="http://hkfoodexpo.hktdc.com"><strong>hkfoodexpo.hktdc.com</strong></a></em></p>

<h3>Shinywinds in Central 2019</h3>
<p>Determined to get the party started and to heat up the harbourside action at this month’s SummerFest is Shinywinds, the hugely successful local orchestra. Established in 2008 as a way for Hong Kong students, past and present, to come together and share their musical prowess, the orchestra is now something of a local institution. This three-hour-long outdoor concert is the perfect opportunity to find out just why it is so popular, as well as the ideal excuse to while away the afternoon to the accompaniment of a host of top tunes and a bevvy or two. <em>Central Harbourfront, 9 Lung Wo Rd, Central. <a href="http://summerfest-centralharbourfront.hk"><strong>summerfest-centralharbourfront.hk</strong></a></em></p>

<h3>Angels Zumbathon 2019</h3>
<p>If staying active for the sake of your health wasn’t enough to motivate you to don your lycra athleisure gear, perhaps the chance to raise funds for much-needed afterschool and counselling programmes for the children of Po Leung Kuk will prove the added incentive you need to sign up for this year’s Angels Zumbathon. It’s a high-energy dance event that has grown every year – starting off with just 50 participants seven years ago and set to<br />
have more than 500 this time around. Not only is it a day packed to the gunwales with goodwill, it’s also a chance to work out with some of Hong Kong’s finest Zumba instructors, including George Lu, Rachel Fok and JC Ferron. <em>Hong Kong Football Club, 2 Sports Rd, Happy Valley.

<h4 class="p1"><b>Big Resign Day</b></h4>
<p class="p2">They say life imitates art more than art&nbsp;imitates life. This, however, may not hold&nbsp;true from the upcoming local production&nbsp;of <em>Big Resign Day</em>.

The show’s three-week&nbsp;run features a number of homegrown&nbsp;stars, including actress Jessica Hsuan&nbsp;and former DJ and multimedia personality&nbsp;Lam1Hey. This eminently comic cast is&nbsp;sure to make the crowds chortle while&nbsp;touching on subjects that are certain&nbsp;to have real resonance. <em>The Hong Kong&nbsp;Academy for Performing Arts, 1 Gloucester&nbsp;Rd, Wan Chai.
