The night parade is one of the Hong Kong’s most anticipated annual events with extravagant floats and spectacular performances from local and foreign groups.

This year’s theme is “Best Fortune. World Party” and the parade will include nine magnificent floats and 20 local and international groups Austria, China, Hungary, Korea, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, USA and the Philippines.
