Victoria Harbour Comes Alive with Dragon Boat Festival

As the annual Dragon Boat Festival approaches on June 10th, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has announced an exciting lineup of events to be held along the iconic Victoria Harbour waterfront.

The festivities kick off this Saturday, June 8th, with the Summer Chill Food Lane at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. Ten food stalls will offer a variety of specialty summer treats, including handcrafted beer, Hong Kong-style milk tea, cold-brew coffee, and coconut desserts. Visitors can also enjoy a LINE FRIENDS-themed pop-up store and photo spots to capture memorable moments.


On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Wan Chai harbourfront will host an awe-inspiring drone performance. A thousand drones will form intricate, dynamic patterns in the sky, depicting rice dumplings, dragon boat races, and flying dragons.


The celebrations continue on June 15th with a dazzling pyrotechnics display over the Wan Chai skyline, featuring smiley faces and the letters "HK". The HKTB will provide free ice cream to spectators from 6 pm to 8 pm on both the drone and pyrotechnics display evenings.


The highlight of the festivities will be the Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races, taking place on June 15th and 16th off the Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade. The event will showcase 17 races, with participation from over 170 teams representing 12 countries and regions, including Singapore, Japan, the UAE, and Thailand.


These vibrant events promise to enliven the Victoria Harbour waterfront and celebrate the rich cultural traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival, drawing both local and international visitors to enjoy the festivities.
