Lunar New Year in The Lanes
Chinatown isn't the only place in Fortitude Valley to feast on dumplings, sip drinks and watch lion dances this Lunar New Year.
Overview
Think Lunar New Year, and you likely think Chinatown. That's 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 Lunar New Year party. There'll be food. There'll be booze. There'll be lion dances, live music and roving performances as well.
On Saturday, February 1, 2025, the festivities for the Year of the Snake will get into full swing with a lively laneway shindig. Fat Dumpling will be serving up its titular dish (naturally), Gung Ho! Dumpling Ramen Bar will also help fill your stomach, and Chicken of Rock will similarly be doing its respective thing.
Also on offer: cocktails and other boozy beverages at the two laneways' bars. All that celebrating is thirsty work, after all.
Plus, there'll be lion dances and live music — and you're just a short stroll from the rest of the Valley's celebrations.
