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. The government has also planned a series of monthly fireworks and drone displays to coincide with important events on the 852’s cultural calendar, such as Labour Day and the Dragon Boat Festival.
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 next fireworks show in Hong Kong will begin at 8pm on January 30, 2025, at Victoria Harbour. The 23-minute-long Lunar New Year Fireworks Display will feature nine scenes created by over 23,000 pyrotechnic shells. The scenes will prominently feature the lucky red number eight, a tribute to the pandas at Ocean Park, and a finale called ‘Dance of the Golden Snake’ — a nod to the upcoming Year of the Snake. This year, the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai and the main HSBC building will also project an LED show that will play alongside the pyrotechnics extravaganza.
