The City of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival is a testament to our city’s diversity, with all cultures that celebrate the Lunar New Year taking part in an exciting program of events across the city.

You can discover a new culinary experience, delight in art, music and performance, take a temple tour, or thrill to the excitement of dragon boat races and lion dancing as we celebrate the Year of the Snake Sydney-style.

I look forward to welcoming the New Year together. Kung Hei Fat Choy!
