A BOLD START TO 2026

On February 17, 2026 — Chinese New Year, Fire Horse Club ignites Toronto with a five-day art, culture, and luxury pop-up celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse. Inspired by the glamour, ambition, and creative energy of Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year, the experience brings the city’s distinctive spirit to life through contemporary art, elevated moments, and extraordinary prizes.

Artwork featuring fiery red and orange horses with flames, set against a dark background.

A rare zodiac alignment that occurs once every 60 years, the Fire Horse symbolizes independence, confidence, passion, and momentum. It’s a year for bold beginnings and decisive action—when art, fashion, travel, and culture surge forward with renewed intensity.

ART & ASPIRATION

Fire Horse Club spotlights new work by Toronto-based, internationally recognized artist Peter Chan. Drawing on Hong Kong visual culture, calligraphy, symbolism, and identity, Chan reinterprets tradition through a contemporary lens—balancing precision with emotion to explore heritage, aspiration, and self-definition.

At Fire Horse Club, Chan debuts new works ahead of their presentation during Art Basel Week in Hong Kong this March, offering Toronto audiences an early look at works headed to one of the world’s most influential art weeks.

For Fire Horse Club, Cry Baby Gallery transforms into a contemporary Lunar New Year salon—where art, cocktails, and atmosphere converge, channeling Hong Kong’s signature blend of luxury, nightlife, and creative energy.
Guests can enjoy a Lucky 3-4-9 cocktail menu, inspired by Hong Kong flavours and auspicious numerology.
