Global travellers are invited to experience the vibrant nighttime celebrations taking place in Hong Kong this Autumn. From Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations and the annual Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival to Taste Around Town, Hong Kong boasts an impressive line-up of events for everyone to enjoy this season.A Tradition that Shines Bright
The iconic Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, which has been designated as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage event, takes place from 16 -18 September this year. Over 300 performers will work together to manoeuvre a massive 67-metre-long fire-lit dragon through the grid-like streets of the Tai Hang neighbourhood. The dragon, made of pearl straws and covered in approximately 12,000 incense sticks, requires seamless teamwork to keep it dancing.
On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival (17 September), there will be a festival-themed drone show over Victoria Harbour, which promises to create unforgettable memories as it showcases Hong Kong’s vibrant spirit and unique blend of tradition and innovation. Other highlights include lantern carnivals and neighbourhood unique celebrations, including at Victoria Park (12 -18 September) and Lee Tung Avenue (31 August -15 October).
