Tin Hau's Birthday 天后诞: Tin Hau's birthday is celebrated to bring safety, security, fine weather and full nets during the coming year. There are celebrations at Tin Hau temples all over Hong Kong. 天后是香港渔民的守护神，每年的天后诞辰日，香港各区的天后庙均有庆祝活动。
Birthday of Lord Buddha: Worshippers show their devotion throughout the day by bathing Buddha's statue. 大屿山宝莲禅寺拥有全世界最高的户外青铜坐佛，是顶礼膜拜的重地之一，善信可参与浴佛仪式及享用美味素菜。Tam Kung's Birthday: His birthday festival is celebrated with considerable devotion and fanfare at the Tam Kung Temple in Shau Kei Wan on Hong Kong Island, which dates from 1905. 谭公是另一位海上守护神，为渔民带来平安与快乐。谭公诞的庆典仪式与天后诞相似，渔民多向谭公祈求未来一年平安、丰收。
Cheung Chau Bun Festival 长洲太平清醮: The weeklong festival climaxes with a large, carnival-like street procession featuring costumed children on stilts held aloft above the crowd, lion dances and other colourful participants. 盛典的焦点是北帝庙前三个用竹棚搭成、挂满平安包的包山。会景巡游是节庆的高潮，飘色、醒狮及麒麟队在岛上巡游，孩童装扮成古今人物或传说中的角色，站在支架上，穿梭大小街道。由于包山的缘故，太平清醮又名“包山节”。These festivals can be incredibly colourful and noisy affairs, attended by thousands of people and include festive feasting, lion and dragon dancers, Chinese opera, carnivals and parades - all creating a fantastic experience - that's uniquely Hong Kong!
