Box Hill Chinese New Year Festival 2019
Celebrate the new year with one of Melbourne's biggest Chinese communities.
Overview
As one of Melbourne's largest Chinese communities, Box Hill's Chinese New Year celebrations always go off. Over 80,000 people are expected to turn out to party into the turn of the season with a marathon 14-hour festival that stretches from 11am right through to 1am the next morning. It'll take over Box Hill Central and spill out onto Whitehorse Road.
Local vendors will serve some of the city's tastiest Chinese cuisine, while traditional lion and dragon dancers entertain the masses. The highlight will be the Parade of Choi Sun, the Chinese God of Fortune, which will give you a change to get in on some of the Year of the Pig's good fortune and prosperity.
