CNY fireworks set for Feb 18
Co-ordinated by the Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau, the 2026 Chinese New Year Fireworks Display is poised to transform Victoria Harbour into a theatre of light on February 18 at 8pm to welcome the Year of the Horse.
Themed “Prosperity Gallops Across Hong Kong”, the extravaganza will be presented in eight scenes. The 23-minute fireworks performance will showcase 31,888 pyrotechnic shells.
The spectacular show will kick off with a dazzling 15-second burst of high-density fireworks simulating the energy of galloping horses, and bid a rousing farewell to the previous year.
Next, fireworks in the shape of the number 8 and golden ingots will illuminate the night sky over Victoria Harbour, conveying wishes of prosperity and abundance in the Year of the Horse.
Star-like fireworks will dance across the sky in the fourth scene, resembling peaceful horses galloping on the horizon, symbolising love and hope for the world. This scene will also display fireworks of a Chinese character meaning good fortune.
The show’s finale will showcase many crown-shaped and "dragon egg" fireworks, as well as a rapid-fire cascade of high-density bursts, extending heartfelt wishes for national prosperity.
Residents can enjoy the show from both sides of Victoria Harbour, including Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai.
