The Cathay Pacific International Hong Kong Chinese New Year Parade

Welcome in the Year of the Rooster at the city’s biggest parade! This hour-and-three-quarters extravaganza features spectacular floats, dance troupes from all over the world, from Peru to Thailand, as well as cheerleaders and marching bands. Not to mention, plenty of traditional Chinese lion dancers and firecrackers. Book your front row seats to enjoy all the action at the Cultural Centre, but remember it’s free to watch along Canton Road, Haiphong Road and Nathan Road. If you’re opting for the later, be sure to be in place early to beat the crowds.
