Hong Kong had planned a series of monthly fireworks and drone displays in 2024 to celebrate major cultural events like Buddha’s Birthday and the Dragon Boat Festival. However, after budget cuts were announced earlier this year, regular shows have been scaled back. Even so, a few drone displays are still set to light up the city, including two in May.
