Event Information
Celebrate the Lunar New Year at City of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival. Running from 20 January – 5 February 2012, this vibrant arts Festival has a program bursting with cultural events, markets, tours, exhibitions and entertainment, most of them free. In 2012 we celebrate the Year of the Dragon, one of the most powerful and lucky signs in the Chinese zodiac.
The Festival showpiece is the spectacular Twilight Parade which will light up Sydney streets on Sunday 29 January with 12 giant zodiac lanterns, magical illuminated floats, building projections, plenty of dragons and over 2500 dancers, acrobats, martial artists and performers.
At the Chinese New Year Markets in Belmore Park (20 – 22 January), watch international chefs go head to head, get your dumpling fix, stock up on New Year gifts or take centre stage in the karaoke competition.
Head down to Darling Harbour on the final weekend of the Festival (4 – 5 February) to see all the action of the Dragon Boat Races.
