Mid-Autumn Festival

Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong, September or October Hong Kong gives the Mid-Autumn moon two very different kinds of light. The Lantern Carnival in Victoria Park, organized by the city's Leisure and Cultural Services Department, fills the park with glowing installations and performances for over a week, and in 2026 it ran from September 17 to 27, staying lit until midnight on Mid-Autumn night, September 25. That same night, the Tai Hang fire dragon, a 67-meter dragon studded with thousands of burning incense sticks, made its entrance into the park. Come on festival night for both, then wander back on a weeknight to see the lanterns with room to breathe. The date follows the lunar calendar, so check it before booking.
