The Dragon New Year celebration program will start from 5pm February 10 until February 25. As usual, the central neighborhood will erect five welcoming gates with cultural features typical to the countries celebrating the Lunar New Year: China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and Thailand.  

With 70 activities taking place across the city, Sydney's Lunar New Year festival is one of the largest Lunar New Year celebrations outside of Asia.
