Chinese New Year Celebration in The Lanes
Feast on dumplings, knock back sake and eat 'misfortune' cookies.
Overview
Think Lunar New Year, and you likely think Chinatown. That understandable — but it's not the only Fortitude Valley spot celebrating the occasion. Over at Bakery and California lanes, the two patches of pavement are putting on a Chinese New Year Celebration. There'll be food. There'll be booze. There'll be dragon dances and live music as well.
From 6pm on Saturday, February 1, the Year of the Rat will get into full swing with a lively laneway party. Fat Dumpling will be serving up their titular dish (naturally), Nom Nom Korean and Nom Nom Ramen and Sake Bar will both be helping full your stomach, and Cakes & Sh!t will be whipping up 'misfortune' cookies. Those sweet treats come dipped in chocolate — and we're guessing that you won't mind if they bring you bad luck.
Also on offer: lychee martinis and other cocktails at a heap of the two laneways' bars. All that celebrating is thirsty work, after all.
Plus, dragon dances will take place at 7pm in Bakery Lane and 8pm on California Lane.
