Earlier, due to the current situation and safety issues, the Tourism Development Bureau cancelled the float parade on the first day of the year following the elimination of the fireworks display on the New Year's Eve, and instead organized the "Cathay Pacific Spring Festival International Exhibition" in the West Kowloon Cultural District Art Park. It will be held for four consecutive days from the first day of the year (25th) to the fourth day of the year (28th). There is no float parade in the venue. Only actors perform in a range of 1.5 kilometers. The original plan was to have up to 48 international and local teams. For performances, there are also Cathay Pacific ticket draws.
