At this time both locals and visitors from abroad have the chance to take part in a multitude of exciting events and activities. As the most fervently and joyously celebrated festival in the Chinese calendar, it is not surprising that Hong Kong pulls out all the stops during this occasion.

An exuberant street party will draw the interest of even the most jaded traveller with its lively extravagance.

In 2012 the parade featured performers from the nation of Thailand, a Shaolin kung fu ensemble, an Italian comic band, a Chinese acrobatic troupe, a modern dance ensemble from the United States, a Russian brass band and more. Each year many thousands of spectators assemble on the sides of the famous Victoria Harbour to watch the sensational fireworks display. Astounding fireworks are released into the night sky, making the area a vividly exciting place to be.
