It’s great to be welcoming the Year of the Dragon with a Festival that is sure to bring plenty of dragon-style energy and passion to our Sydney summer. With performance, art, film, food, tours and workshops,our celebrations have become one of the most unique cultural events in our calendar. They’ve also grown to take their place on the international stage, with visitors from China joining us each year to be part of our Sydney celebrations. This year we’re welcoming a delegation from Chengdu, as well as artists from Beijing and five other Chinese regions that will join with performers from all over Australia to bring their magic to our Twilight Parade.

This festival is a positive reflection of Sydney’s diversity, welcoming everyone who celebrates the Lunar New Year. For the third year, we are happy to have the involvement of the Korean and Vietnamese communities in our parade and other festival events.

It’s now been 12 years since I directed my first Sydney Chinese New Year Festival, welcoming the Year of the Dragon at the beginning of the 21st century. It is extraordinary how this event has grown – it’s a tribute to the energy and enthusiasm of all the community groups, our Chinese New Year Festival Advisory Group, artists, Ambassadors and the dedicated and fabulous City of Sydney staff who are involved. I would like to thank them and wish everyone a very happy Lunar New Year – may it be good to you.
