Entrepreneurs and businesses planning to engage attendees at the prestigious 2026 Hong Kong Flower Show have a crucial date circled: on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will host public auctions for commercial vendor stalls. Located at the Cheung Sha Wan Sports Centre in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, the bidding process will determine which entities secure coveted space during the 10-day horticultural spectacle, slated to run from March 20 to March 29, 2026, at Victoria Park.
Commercial Opportunities at Victoria Park
The auction serves as the gateway for vendors—ranging from flower retailers to fast-food operators—to establish a presence at one of the city’s highest-traffic annual events. A total of 54 commercial stalls will be made available across various categories, ensuring diverse offerings for the public.
The breakdown of available spaces and their reserved pricing reflects the varied demand for different commercial activities:

Bidding is open to Hong Kong residents aged 18 and above, as well as companies duly incorporated within the territory, allowing for both independent vendors and established businesses to participate. Interested parties are permitted to bid on multiple lots.
Compliance and Operational Requirements
Securing a stall requires more than just meeting the highest bid. Successful applicants must strictly adhere to the terms of the license agreement, starting with a required security deposit of HK$6,012 per stall. This deposit is refundable following the show, provided all contractual stipulations are fully met.
The LCSD maintains strict regulations regarding stall usage, emphasizing that the licensed space must be used solely for the promotion and sale of the specified permitted goods.
The department explicitly prohibits activities deemed unlawful, immoral, or inconsistent with the objectives of the Flower Show. Licensees found in breach of the operating conditions face serious penalties, including immediate termination of the agreement, deduction of the security deposit, and potential disqualification from future bidding opportunities. Enforcement aims to maintain the high standards and family-friendly atmosphere of the annual event.
Prospective bidders are encouraged to review the proposed stall locations and layout plans beforehand. These details are available for public inspection at all District Leisure Services Offices of the LCSD, relevant Home Affairs Enquiry Centres, and at the LCSD Headquarters in Sha Tin. Careful examination of these plans is critical for vendors planning logistical and operational setups during the 2026 show. Booking a space at the Hong Kong Flower Show is a competitive process, offering vendors unparalleled access to a significant segment of the city’s population and international visitors.
