Fireworks over Victoria Harbour on Chinese New Year day! One of the premier and most anticipated events of the year. Get ready to meet the Year of the Dog!
It coincides with the record-setting Symphony of Lights. The harbor is scheduled to roar with a giant 25 minute fireworks display with lasers and choreographed building lights on the dozens of participating buildings.
This year's Year of the Dog Fireworks celebration will be on February 17, 2018 at 8:00 pm and last for approximately 23 minutes.
There is no admission charge, you can watch all along the waterfront or from anywhere in sight of the Victoria Harbour skies. Which side of the harbour? As a general rule, you should watch from whatever side you are staying and plan on walking.
The skyscrapers go through their paces while the tens of thousands of spectators listen to the orchestrated music and narration played on loudspeakers for the event. The Hong Kong Cultural Center will light up with amazing computer generated graphics.
You'll probably hear extra-loud booming detonations that are intended (according to Chinese tradition) to scare away the evil spirits from the whole area. This display is bigger and longer than the regular New Year's fireworks at midnight on January 1st.
