Overview

Fancy getting an early start on a big citywide festival? And, while you're at it, celebrating Vietnamese Lunar New Year? Before BrisAsia Festival takes over Brisbane for the first three weeks of February, filling as much of this town of ours with as many events as it can — as it does every year — it's marking the changing of the lunar calendar at the Hội chợ Tết 2023 Vietnamese Lunar New Year Festival.

Your destination: Richlands. Running from 5.30–10pm on both Friday, January 13–Saturday, January 14, this LNY celebration is organised by the Queensland Chapter of the Vietnamese Community in Australia, takes place at CJ Greenfield Complex Park, and includes food stalls, lion dances, music performances and a traditional costume parade.

Drop by for Vietnamese cuisine aplenty, arts showcases and possibly even learning a new skill — calligraphy is on the lineup, too.

Also on offer: firecrackers, a martial arts performance, and an official festival photo booth to snap some memories while you're there.
