The Lunar New Year Fairs were cancelled in 2021 and 2022 due to anti-epidemic measures that were put in place by the Hong Kong government to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The fairs resumed in 2023, but there were no food stalls as it was still mandatory to wear masks in indoor and outdoor spaces in Hong Kong at the time.
The auctions for the remaining 2024 fairs will continue until December 5.
