Hong Kong Chinese New Year Celebrations are some of the liveliest and most colorful we have ever experienced. This is a great time to visit and share in the spirit of the festivities as the city prepares to welcome another year. And this year, we see the return of two iconic events after a four year hiatus, both the Lunar New Year Night Parade and the Chinese New Year Fireworks extravaganza will be back to usher in the Year of the Dragon!
Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first moon of the Lunar Calendar, which normally falls in January or February, and is also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival.
The festivities continue for the next fifteen days culminating in the Lantern Festival with the first full moon of the year.
That's right, this is a massive 15-day party, where lots of red and gold abound and the happy noises of drums, gongs and firecrackers explode in every corner.
Dancing lions and parading dragons make their ways on the streets, flower markets and temples overflow with joy and anticipation, friends and family come together to share in the blessings of the New Year...

Chinese New Year 2024 in Hong Kong
Both of our iconic New Year celebrations, the Chinese New Year Parade in Tsim Sha Tsui and the world class fireworks display over Victoria Harbour are back this year.
Also very much a part of any Chinese New Year celebration are the many Lion and Dragon dances which are performed throughout the city.
February 11, 2024 - 8:00 pm. This has to be one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the world. To welcome the New Year, a fleet of pontoons and barges set up in the middle of Victoria Harbour launches the pyrothecnic wonder as the sky above the harbour explodes in bursts of shimmering colour.

Start on New Year's Day through the end of February
These traditional arts date back for more than a thousand years and feature incredible acrobatic performances in a riot of colours with the accompanying revelry of drums, gongs and firecrackers to scare away the bad spirits and bring in the good luck. More...
The Lunar New Year is one of the most important festivals for the Chinese, perhaps THE most important. Celebrations in Hong Kong kick off on New Year's Eve, but the preparations begin way before then. As soon as the Christmas decorations start coming down, the Chinese New Year bright displays start appearing throughout the city.
Homes, stores, restaurants and offices are all brightly decorated in red and gold, the lucky colors for happiness and wealth and beautiful sprays of flowers and auspicious mandarin trees adorn every corner imaginable.
For most Chinese, the New Year is a time for family reunions, and all take pride in their preparations to share in the joy with their loved ones. But the celebrations are everywhere and for everyone to take part in.
