The Food & Environmental Hygiene Department announced today that the 2026 Lunar New Year fairs will be held at 14 locations from February 11 to 7am on February 17. About 1,500 wet goods, dry goods and fast food stalls will be set up.

The department said that the fair venues will be monitored using innovative and technological measures, and crowd control will be implemented as necessary.

Footfall of the 14 fairs will be displayed on the department’s website - a green light indicates that few people are at the fair site, an amber light signals that a venue is slightly crowded, while a red light shows the venue is very crowded.

The department will gather unsold pots of flowers and plants donated by vendors, and deliver them to elderly homes, care homes for persons with disabilities and public hospitals on February 17.

Members of the public are urged to keep the environment clean and not litter while enjoying the festive season, while stall operators should properly dispose of waste and keep their stalls and the surroundings clean and tidy.
