Hong Kong will welcome the Year of the Horse with the return of the Chinese New Year Fireworks Display over Victoria Harbour on Wednesday, 18 February, starting at 8pm. The highly anticipated show will last approximately 23 minutes, lighting up the skyline with festive visuals visible from both sides of the harbour.
The event is officially listed on the Hong Kong Tourism Board and LCSD websites, confirming its return as one of the city’s major Chinese New Year celebrations. Following the cancellation of the New Year’s Eve fireworks, this harbourfront display marks the comeback of large-scale public festivities for the Lunar New Year season.
Popular viewing spots are expected to include Tsim Sha Tsui, Mid-Levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, the East Coast Park Precinct in Fortress Hill, and Hung Hom Bypass, where spectators usually gather for unobstructed views of the show.
Other major celebrations during the festive period include the Chinese New Year Parade on 17 February, the Lunar New Year Flower Markets from 11 to 17 February, including the largest one at Victoria Park, and the Well-Wishing Tree Festival running from 17 February to 3 March.
