I guess amongst the (rapidly diminishing) expat community it is - so around Lan Kwai Fong and a couple of other areas; amongst locals, not so much. The midnight fireworks are much smaller and quieter than the really big displays on the second day of Lunar New Year, National Day (1 Oct) and (some years) Handover Day (1 July).
