The light-up time of the decorations at the venues will be from 6.30 pm to 11 pm and extended to midnight on Mid-Autumn day that falls on September 21.

Visitors are required to wear masks, maintain social distance and avoid gathering in groups of more than four people to safeguard public health. To prevent overcrowding on Mid-Autumn day, the public is also advised to schedule their visits for dates other than that day.

Admission to Victoria Park soccer pitches will start at dusk. Crowd control measures will be implemented and admission will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Visitors should follow on-site instructions.
