Hong Kong's The Bay Market
Last March, over 1,300 Hongkongers attended the pop-up Bay Market’s collection of local vendors, buying pre-loved goods such as records, books, garments, art, games and unexpected gems.
This Saturday, the boutique market is expanding to different areas of K-Farm on the Kennedy Town waterfront, with carefully-selected vendors and a new games section and seating zone.
‘A desire for something different’
After a summer visit to Berlin, co-founder Dorian Gabler immediately fell in love with the regular Sunday flea markets held all over the German capital.
“The market was born out of a desire for something different. Cities around the world boast incredible flea markets that attract kids, families, tourists, and locals, but Hong Kong was missing out. So, we built something that fills this gap while also reducing the cycle of unsustainable shopping in the city,” the founders say.
“In contrast to Hong Kong’s commercial and consumeristic mindset, we aim to upcycle and create less waste,” they added.
Revellers can expect four different food vendors, ranging from Philly cheesesteak sandwiches to tacos and Indian-inspired snacks. Smoothies and coffee will be available, alongside craft brews by the Hong Kong Beer Co. and a wine bar from Yatbui.
- Where: K-Farm Belcher Bay Promenade, Kennedy Town.
- When: Saturday, March 9, noon till 7pm.
- Entry: Free.
- Belcher Bay Park 卑路乍灣公園
