Shenzhen Events — essentials
What’s happening in Shenzhen this week
Shenzhen’s event calendar reflects the city itself — relentlessly multilingual, fast-moving, and split between expat-leaning west and locally-driven east. Shekou and Nanshan host most of the international community events: language exchanges, sports leagues, networking nights, restaurant openings. Futian and Luohu carry the cultural weight — the symphony, the major exhibitions, holiday light shows, civic celebrations. Bao’an and Longgang anchor the trade-show and convention circuit. Now Shenzhen pulls from venues across every district, so a week’s feed will almost always span all of them.
How the events feed works
The cards below come from events.nowshenzhen.com, our dedicated events platform. Venues and promoters submit through a public form; an editorial pass checks for spam, broken links, and basic accuracy before publication. The feed refreshes hourly — at any given moment you’re seeing the next 30–50 upcoming events sorted by start time. When an event passes, it moves to the archive automatically. Cancelled or postponed events are flagged within four hours of being reported.
Submitting your own event
Whether you’re hosting a one-night supper club or a multi-day exhibition, submission is free and takes about two minutes. The form asks for the venue, time, a 50-word description, a square cover image, and an optional ticket link. Featured-placement upgrades — homepage spot, top-of-category, “Now Editor’s Pick” badge — start at modest rates and are processed within one business day.

Common questions
-
How often are events updated on Now Shenzhen?
Our events feed pulls live from events.nowshenzhen.com — new submissions go through editorial review within 24 hours and appear immediately once approved. The same feed powers the homepage 'Up Next' panel.
-
Can I submit an event for free?
Yes. Standard event listings are free for community organisers, restaurants, bars, galleries and family venues. We offer paid featured-placement and homepage feature spots for promoters who need extra reach — see the submission form for details.
-
What kinds of events does Now Shenzhen cover?
We list ten event categories: Afternoon Tea, Arts & Culture, Business networking, Wine & Dine, Family & Kids, Happy Hour, Holidays, Nightlife, Promotions, and Featured Upcoming Events. Anything happening publicly in Shenzhen, in English or bilingual, is in scope.
-
Are most events bilingual or English-only?
Roughly 70% of listed events are bilingual (English + Mandarin). Pure English-language events skew toward Shekou and Nanshan venues; pure-Mandarin events are usually filtered out unless they're major civic celebrations like Spring Festival or National Day.
-
How do I find events near my district?
Each listing carries a venue and district tag. The events sub-site at events.nowshenzhen.com supports filtering by district, category and date range. From this page, use 'See all events' to jump to the full filter UI.
