If you’re looking for something to welcome in the new year, here are some of the events we recommend getting involved in to see in the New Year in Hong Kong. And they’re kid-friendly! From fireworks to singing with Mickey, here are fun ways to celebrate New Years Eve in Hong Kong with kids.
Fireworks at Victoria Harbour
Gather en-masse with surely tens of thousands of Hong Kongers and Tourists alike to ring in the New Year with Hong Kong’s world-famous New Year’s Eve Fireworks display. Find a place (if you can beat the crowds) in Central or Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the spectacle ensue.

Observation wheel
Overlooking the harbour and gaining an unobstructed view of the sky and shore. Although it may be closed before midnight, for families with younger kids who won’t stay up too late, it is a fantastic place to take in the sights and get a break from the amassing crowds below. Additionally, it is located right next to the AIA carnival, a fantastic spot for the later night.

Take an Evening Cruise
Catch the fireworks whilst afloat on a boat. Hong Kong fireworks, launching from harbour barges as well as skyscrapers, can be seen from most places along the harbour front but imagine being out on the water to see them fall. Hop on a boat and cruise around the harbour to catch the display while you enjoy a late dinner and drinks.
Go on a Staycation with a View
Why not book a hotel with a glorious view of Victoria Harbour? Make it a fun little staycation, letting the kids stay up late to see the fireworks without the crowds. Some hotel options to consider – Harbour Grand, Grand Hyatt, The Park Lane, Intercontinental, Marco Polo, The Ritz-Carlton, Kowloon Shangri-La.
AIA Carnival
All through the holiday season and longer, the AIA Carnival is always an exciting time for thrill seekers and amusement fair enthusiasts alike.
