元朗橫洲6村──東頭圍、忠心圍、林屋村、楊屋村、福慶村、西頭村──聯合舉行太平清醮，由202年1月25日至28日。於各村內外搭建十多個傳統花牌，設壇由道士念經祈福。

橫洲上一屆的太平清醮為2012年，每8年一屆。主要目的是祈福消災、濟陰利陽，向神明禮拜祈福，超幽度冥法事，其中，最盛大的是祭大幽及化大士王。

因新冠疫情，今年慶典低調進行，不似往年熱鬧，神功戲改為木偶劇。

The 6 villages of Wang Chau, Yuen Long, are jointly holding a Tai Ping Ching Chiu, an extravagant spiritual purification festival, on January 25-28, 2021. More than 10 Chinese traditional flower billboards were erected inside and outside the villages as Taoist priests set up altars to chant and pray for the villagers.

The last Tai Ping Ching Chiu at Wang Chau was held in 2012 and it is held once every 8 years. The main purpose is to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, to benefit the Yin and Yang, to pray to the gods, and to transcend the underworld. Among them, the grand ceremonies are to make offerings to and later burn the Ghost King.

Owing to the pandemic, the celebration this year was low-key with a smaller crowd. The Chinese opera was replaced by puppet shows.

The 6 villages of Wang Chau include Tung Tau Wai (Walled Village), Chung Sum Wai, Lam Uk Tsuen (Village), Yeung Uk Tsuen, Fook Hing Tsuen and Sai Tau Wai.
