5 must-see shows and Mid-Autumn Festival events in Hong Kong, September 13-19
From the Lantern Carnival and Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance to rock and heavy metal, check out these Mid-Autumn Festival events in Hong Kong
Do you fancy making your own lantern this Mid-Autumn Festival? Or are you wondering where to catch the famous Fire Dragon? Here are some fun arts and culture events for this weekend and over the Mid-Autumn Festival period – plus two unmissable concerts for rock and heavy metal fans.
1. Urban Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival
Organised by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, this year’s carnival in Victoria Park has a fashion theme that is spectacularly embodied in a 12-metre-long lantern display in the form of a giant Chinese Tang suit and qipao.
There is plenty to see and do, from a Huafu Show featuring traditional Chinese costumes and a Mid-Autumn Market to the obligatory lantern riddles.
From September 16-18, there will also be a live broadcast of the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance inside the park so you do not have to fight the crowds nearby in Tai Hang.
Victoria Park, Soccer Pitches No. 1-6, Sep 12-18.
Lighting-up time: 6.30pm-11pm (extended to midnight on Sep 17); Mid-Autumn Market: 6.30pm-11pm (extended to midnight on Sep 17); Huafu Show: 8pm-8.30pm (7.30pm-8pm on Sep 12); Tai Hang Fire Dragon Live Broadcast: Sep 16-18, 7.30pm-10.30pm
