Planning for the fifth Maovember is well underway. This year’s campaign runs from November 1 to November 30 and supports Bread of Life, a bakery that employs disabled people, and The Library Project, a long-term partner that helps furnish reading rooms in needy schools.

The Maovember launch party is at XL Restaurant and Bar in Beijing from 5 PM to midnight on November 1. Be the first to get the 2017 Maovember pin while enjoying food, drink and games. A wine tasting at CHEERS (November 3), the annual pub quiz at Q Mex (November 15), the third Mystery Wine Party (November 26) and more events are in the queue. See the most up to date events list here.

Maovember focuses on quirky events for good causes. Our 2022 partner is Library Project, which has furnished thousands of reading rooms in rural schools. Learn more about Maovember here. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
