The 2026 Chinese New Yearf fireworks display on Victoria Harbor at 8pm on Feb. 18 will be the center of events being lined up through the Lantern Festival on March 3 to welcome the Year of the Horse.
The display can be seen from vantage points on both sides of
the harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui, Mid-Levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway
Bay and Hung Hom. It will have 31,888
firing shells to be discharged in a 23-minute extravaganza synchronized with the
music broadcast by Radio Television Hong Kong Radio 4 (FM 97.6 to 98.9).
In addition to the fireworks, a number of festivals are
being laid out to transform Hong Kong with large-scale decorations and
traditional performances, such as:
