Festival Launch

Join us in celebrating the Year of the Dragon and the beginning of the Festival. Belmore Park becomes a feast of colours and flavours as our Lunar New Year celebrations begin with a fabulous free launch at the Chinese New Year Markets.

A traditional eye-dotting ceremony brings dragons and lions to life, and firecrackers scare off the previous year’s misfortunes with spectacular sparkle and plenty of loud bangs. There’s live entertainment from international performers on stage, including a sneak preview of the Parade and an array of flavours to enjoy at the many food stalls.

Be prepared for your tastebuds to sizzle with spicy Sichuan food from our visiting Chengdu delegation as together we launch the Lunar New Year celebrations.

Stick around and join the fun as the SBS PopAsia crew take to the stage from 8pm following the Launch.
