Lunar New Year at The Star Brisbane

Overview

In the past in Brisbane, when the time came to celebrate Lunar New Year, The Treasury got in on the action. Now that Queen's Wharf is here, it's The Star's turn instead for the Year of the Snake. The venue is spending a month marking the occasion with special feasts, performances and more between Sunday, January 12–Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

Fat Noodle has banquets for couples covered, including braised pork belly with quail eggs, chargrilled turmeric spatchcock and mango trifle, all for $168. Fancy a culinary trip to Japan instead — and feeling flush with cash? Sokyo is doing a Lunar New Year upgrade on its opulent sashimi platter, so you can enjoy lobster and premium sashimi for the splurge price of $600.

For the far-more-budget-friendly price of $26, opt for a crispy chicken cashew nut stir-fry in the Food Quarter.

As for the entertainment, you can place your hopes for the year ahead on the wishing tree or watch roving lion dances. The latter are taking place from 7pm from Tuesday, January 28–Friday, January 31 and again on Wednesday, February 12.
