Shoppers can choose from about 1,500 items ranging from festive plants and flowers, food, and decoration such as spring couplets that are posted on doorways to welcome the start of the Year of the Dragon.
This is the first time since the pandemic that a full range of dry goods and fast food stalls will be featured in the annual fair.
The fair kickstarts the celebration of the Lunar New Year, which this year will again be highlighted by the Cathay International Chinese New Year Parade in Tsim Sha Tsui on Saturday, Feb. 10, from 8pm to 9:45pm.

The next day, at 8pm, Victoria Harbour will again be lit up by the 23-minute Lunar New Year Fireworks Display.
According to the FEHD, visitors to the fair will be guided through color-coding technology about the number people inside the designated venues. A green light means few people are inside, amber indicates a slightly crowded venue, while a red light signifies that it is very crowded inside.
If necessary, crowd control measures will be implemented.
The public is advised that admission to the fairs will stop 15 minutes before closing time so they should reserve enough time to enjoy what’s on offer inside.
For this year, various waste reduction and recycling measures will be implemented, like collecting and separating recyclable from waste materials. All unsold pots of flowers and plants that are donated by vendors will be delivered to elderly and residential care homes.
Everyone is urged to keep the venues clean.
