1996 Lunar New Year fireworks display approved
The Fireworks Vetting Committee has endorsed an application from Li & Fung (1937) Limited to stage a fireworks display of 25 to 30 minutes during the Lunar New Year in 1996, a spokesman for the Recreation and Culture Branch announced today (Monday).
The display will be staged over Victoria Harbour from 8 pm on February 20, 1996 (Tuesday), the second day of the Lunar New Year.
"In case of inclement weather, the display will be postponed to the following day (February 21, 1996), which is the third day of the Lunar New Year," the spokesman said.
The coming display will be the 15th Lunar New Year fireworks display sponsored by the private sector since 1982. As in the past, the Urban Council will co- organise the event.
"We are delighted that with this sponsorship, the community will once again be able to enjoy the spectacle of a fireworks display during the Lunar New Year festivities," the spokesman added.
