About

The Hong Kong Government gazettes Thursday 16 September 2027 as the day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, so the festival itself is on 15 September. The tourism board describes it as a time for family reunions, marked with mooncakes, moon gazing, lantern carnivals, mall displays and citywide offers.

The tourism board's festival page highlights the large lantern displays and the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, in which a dragon covered in thousands of glowing incense sticks moves through the streets of Tai Hang. The page describes the previous year's shows, and 2027 programme dates may change.
