LCSD's response to media enquiries
**********************************
The Hong Kong Dragon and Lion Dance Festival Preparatory Committee (the applicant) submitted their application to the LCSD's Yau Tsim Mong District Leisure Services Office (the Office) on October 17, 2023, for using the Avenue of Stars to hold the above event on January 1, 2024.
Subsequently, the Office repeatedly reminded the applicant to submit detailed information about the event for review and approval, such as the layout of the function and crowd control measures, etc. However, the applicant was unable to submit important information about the use of the venue. The Office issued three written reminders to the applicant in December last year, and the applicant finally submitted all necessary information to the Office on December 28, 2023.
After examining the related information, the Office issued a letter of approval on December 29, 2023, allowing the applicant to conduct the activities of the Dragon and Lion Dance Extravaganza 2024 at the Avenue of Stars on January 1, 2024.
