KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- Hong Kong is set to light up the sky with a breathtaking New Year countdown fireworks display on Dec 31, as the world prepares to bid farewell to 2024.
This annual tradition has become a hallmark of the city’s festive spirit, drawing locals and visitors alike to the iconic Victoria Harbour for an unforgettable night of celebration and joy to welcome another journey around the sun, according to a statement.
Adding an unparalleled level of energy to the festivities, Crash Adams, a hit Canadian pop music duo from Toronto, will join the stage of Hong Kong countdown celebrations for the first time together with performances of local artists.
Guided by the theme ‘The Symphony of Happiness’, the fireworks display reflects the vibrancy and resilience of life in Hong Kong, delivering a powerful message to take into the new year, whereby attendees can expect a rich tapestry of colours and dynamic shapes inspired by the essence of life.
Beginning at the stroke of midnight and unfolding over 12 spectacular minutes, the fireworks display encompasses five distinct movements, namely Fire, Earth, Wood, Water, and Metal, each representing a vital element of existence.
Meanwhile, the grand finale, Light of Future (metal) will see bright multi-hued fireworks and iridescent clouds light up Victoria Harbour, embodying a courageous spirit for a shining future in the year ahead.
In addition, the stunning show will feature pyrotechnic effects launched from prominent rooftops along the skyline. This multi-layered approach ensures that the entire harbour is alive with colour and sound, creating an immersive atmosphere that will resonate throughout the city.
As part of the festivities, pre-show pyro-shooting stars and a giant countdown clock at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will further add to the excitement as the city celebrates the start of 2025.
