2026 Lunar New Year Festival

Ring in the Year of the Horse with us on Saturday 21 February, at the heart of Chippendale’s bustling Kensington Street.

This free, family-friendly event is packed with excitement for all ages.

The evening kicks off with our mesmerizing lion dances at 6 pm, infusing the street with good fortune and positive energy. As you wander through the festivities, keep an eye out for red envelopes hanging from trees, ready to be snatched up and filled with prosperity.

The Year of the Horse embodies energy, freedom, and ambition—qualities that will carry those who embrace them toward adventure, success, and joy. Enjoy face painting, tarot reading, palm reading, and more, all designed to enhance your celebration and bring insight into the year ahead.

Bring your loved ones for a day brimming with cultural richness, joy, and the promise of a prosperous, magical year to come!
