Victoria Harbour to Shine with Spectacular Pyrotechnics Celebrating the Year of the Dragon



Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour is set to dazzle spectators with a magnificent fireworks display in honor of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon. After a five-year hiatus due to COVID-19 restrictions, this highly anticipated event will take place on the evening of February 11th at 8 pm, coinciding with the second day of the festive season.

Themed "China is Strong in the Year of the Dragon, when All Industries Are Prosperous," this year's pyrotechnic spectacle promises to captivate viewers with a narrative of eight distinct scenes unfolding over a 23-minute duration. The night sky will be illuminated with a stunning array of symbolic shapes and colors, including red and gold figure eights, joyful smiling faces, affectionate double red hearts, and auspicious gold ingots.


The coordination of the fireworks display will be carried out from three barges stationed in Victoria Harbour, strategically located opposite the Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre. A total of 23,888 fireworks will be launched, a number that holds great cultural significance, symbolizing prosperity and fortune in Chinese tradition.



The grandeur of the event is reflected in its budget of HK$13 million, generously sponsored by the Hong Kong Celebrations Association. This sponsorship not only underscores the importance of the event as a source of cultural pride but also serves as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the city.


After a long wait, residents and visitors alike can look forward to witnessing the breathtaking display of pyrotechnics that will illuminate Victoria Harbour, creating a memorable and joyous atmosphere to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the auspicious Year of the Dragon.
