New Year Fireworks

Starting 2018 with a bang, the traditional New Year’s Eve fireworks will continue the current trend of bigger is better as the display will stretch 1.1km along Victoria Harbour. Launched from barges on the harbour as well as the rooftops of five buildings on Hong Kong Island the display will be to quote the HKTB “Dazzling our skyline with vibrant colors”. 

This year’s countdown celebrations will mercifully be the final event in the drawn out year long series, where much was spent and little of merit organised to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong SAR.

For the first time the display, synchronised with music composed by Chiu Tsang Hei, will feature a European fireworks maker. The “Magical Stardust” segment mimicking dancing fairies scattering magical stardust over Victoria Harbour starts at around the 6 minute mark and is meant to signify New Year’s blessings to the city.

The shooting stars will start at 11pm for you to make a New Year’s wish and if you have braved the multitudes in Tsim Sha Tsui you might be able to see a performance by Australian performing arts group “Strange Fruit” near the Star Ferry from 10pm.
