Hong Kong Sevens
Hold on to your rugby balls because the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens is back. Earning a legendary status for its ridiculous costumes, beer swigging antics, and general debauchery, this year's event lands at Hong Kong Stadium from April 5 to 7. As always, the festival comes with an action-packed schedule, starting with the
Sevens kick-off concert, presented by Marriott Bonvoy and starring the one and only Gwen Stefani. While lucky Marriott Bonvoy members get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime VIP meet-and-greet with the iconic star, the rest of us get to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S for her epic anthems. Those looking for family-friendly fun can enjoy the exciting activities on offer at the
Rugby Sevens Festival in Lee Garden, including the return of EGGssentially Art! Really, there’s no need for us to explain more is there? So gather the gang and have yourself an unforgettable weekend.
