Lunar New Year Fireworks Display Supported By Stonewood Gp

A fireworks display, supported by Stonewood Group in Wellington’s harbour to mark the Lunar New Year of the Dragon.

In the event of bad weather, the Fireworks Display will be postponed to Sunday 18 February at 9.30pm.

Head down to Upper Frank Kitts Park to get a bird’s eye view of the Fireworks Display. Wellington’s harbour will light the night sky to ward off evil spirits, making way for a new year filled with health, happiness and prosperity for all Wellingtonians

Pyrostar International’s display will feature pops of noise, and many shades of the colour red. This year’s display will be a most spectacular one to mark the Year of the Dragon, the most auspicious of years for Asian communities. 

The Fireworks Display will be preceded with performances in Upper Frank Kitts Park with Taiko drummers (8pm to 8.30pm), Chinese dragon dancers, and other performers (8.30pm to 9.15pm) - see Dragons on the Waterfront event.

The Lunar New Year Fireworks Display is part of the 2024 Lunar New Year Festival organised by Asian Events Trust. The festival will bring people from diverse backgrounds together to celebrate shared values and hopes for a fantastic year ahead.
