Police will implement crowd management measures to facilitate the holding of public processions in Victoria Park on January 1.

Police have received notification from seven organisations that they will hold public meetings and processions on Hong Kong Island on that day, and have issued Letters of No Objection to them.

The 47th Hong Kong Brands & Products Expo is also being held in Victoria Park at that time, so it is expected that many people will be in the vicinity.

People who attend the expo can enter the venue from Gloucester Road via Gates 6 and 7 in Causeway Bay. They can also enter the venue from Gate 14 in Hing Fat Street, Tin Hau.

People going to Causeway Bay and Tin Hau for shopping and leisure, participating in the procession, or visiting the expo are encouraged to use public transport. They should follow the directions given by Police or event marshals and be aware of the temporary signage displayed.
