Pride Month is here! Whether you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or simply want to show support as an ally, everyone is welcome to celebrate pride. With a wide spectrum of events happening across town, we have curated a list for all to get involved with and show your support to the Hong Kong LGBTQIA+ community.
Eaton HK is known for promoting inclusivity through a series of regular cultural events. It is no surprise then that the hotel is contributing to the pride buzz in June with its very own series of celebration. “Pride at Eaton 2023: It’s Morphing Time” will offer a diverse range of arts and cultural programmes at various venues in Eaton HK.
Kicking off the month-long celebration are three events: “The Drag Dictionary: Drag Workshop,” “Ho Yuk (Let’s Love Hong Kong)” screening and post-screening talk, and an opening party called “Puff The Magic Drag Out” in anticipation of many more celebrations to come. View the full programme here.
For those looking for a cosy getaway with their partner, check out Eaton HK’s Love Is Love staycation package that comes with an exclusive queer neighbourhood guidebook, rainbow amenities, and selected cocktails at the in-hotel bar, Terrible Baby.
When: 10 June–22 July
Where: Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Road, Jordan
