Hong Kong has a regular line-up of fireworks shows for three major events: National Day (October 1), New Year’s Eve, and Chinese New Year. Our guide is regularly updated with the latest information about the free fireworks shows that will be organised in Hong Kong in 2025.
It contains all the details you need: when they are, what the themes are, and the best places to watch them.
When is the next fireworks show in Hong Kong?
The government has confirmed that the New Year’s Eve fireworks display scheduled for December 31 at Victoria Harbour has been cancelled. The decision follows the Tai Po fire on 26 November, a tragedy that had a significant impact on the community.
Where to watch the fireworks displays
When held on Victoria Harbour, some of the best free spots in Hong Kong to watch the fireworks show include Tsim Sha Tsui, Mid-Levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, East Coast Park Precinct in Fortress Hill, and Hung Hom Bypass.
