In addition to a slew of international musicians putting on concerts around town, Shanghai is seeing a well-varied selection of other events as well, from food pop-ups to hiking day-trips and wine tastings to head-bopping clubbing.
Catch you at one or some of the following?
Crush-It Karaoke
at The Hai
#nightlife
🗓️ Friday, November 29 (9 PM - 2 AM)
📍 The Hai, 35 Yongjia Road, Huangpu

Neighborhood bar and karaoke mainstay The Hai is turning up more than just the volume this Friday. Anyone who works up the guts to seize the mic will be rewarded with a free can of hard iced-tea.
Whether you have the voice of an angel or one that causes everyone within earshot to beg you to stop, free booze is free booze.
It's sure got us motivated to belt out our favorite Mariah Carrey holiday classics: "All I want for Christmas is hard-iced tea." Or something like that.
