Lunar New Year at Sunnybank Plaza and Sunny Park
Sunnybank's Year of the Snake festivities include calligraphy workshops, a balloon maze, AusOriental Orchestra performances and plenty to eat.
Overview
Don't just eat your way through 2025's Lunar New Year celebrations, as the Year of the Snake slithers in. Obviously, do mark the occasion with ample bites, including at Sunnybank Plaza and Sunny Park — but there's more than just meals on offer at the two spots between Tuesday, January 28–Sunday, February 2.
The program of events spans tai chi, calligraphy sessions, Chinese silk embroidery demonstrations, making lanterns and a huge balloon maze. The AusOriental Orchestra will be picking up its instruments, and cultural handcrafts and plants will be for sale as well. Lion and dragon dances are a given, naturally.
On the culinary side, daily food discovery tours are also on the agenda from Wednesday, which cost $50 to attend — and require bookings.
And a week after the main celebrations, on Saturday, February 8, the annual rooftop party is back from 5pm, complete with fireworks.
