Find auspicious plants, toys and gadgets, street eats, and festive vibes at these 14 spots

Lunar New Year in Hong Kong means one thing above all: the flower markets and fairs. Every year, the city transforms parks and playgrounds into vibrant outdoor bazaars filled with auspicious plants, decorations, toys and handicrafts, street food, and that unmistakable pre-festive buzz.
For the Year of the Horse, 14 Lunar New Year fairs and flower markets are running across the city from February 11 to February 17. To check real-time crowd levels at the market you’re heading to, visit the FEHD live status page here – it updates every five minutes so you can pick the best time to go.
Victoria Park remains the undisputed king of the flower markets with 400 stalls this year. Expect hundreds of vendors selling seasonal blooms and potted plants, while others offer things like festive decorations, plush toys, quirky gadgets, and more. Food is also a major draw at Victoria Park this year. Apart from the usual Lunar New Year treats and street food, HSBC has also collaborated with Korean star chef Anh Sung-jae for the ‘Red Hot Chef’ food stall featuring over 20 festive delicacies from some of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants.
