Chatswood Year of the Rabbit Festival

Overview

Bunnies are believed to be the luckiest of the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac and a symbol of elegance, beauty and good fortune. So it stands to reason that Willoughby City Council's Lunar New Year celebrations, from Wednesday, January 18 to Sunday, February 12 will be particularly prosperous. If you enjoy music, markets and unmissable (and very 'grammable) artworks, Chatswood's Year of the Rabbit Festival is set to deliver on all fronts. 

Previous Lunar New Year celebrations have seen the suburb's streets filled with food stalls, floats and fiery dancing dragons. This year, in addition to all that, visitors will also be invited to spot a series of spectacular figurines floating across the CBD in the form of eight giant inflatable bunnies. 

Other program highlights worth hopping to include the Lunar New Year Comedy Festival featuring a fantastic lineup of comics, Asian-Australian R&B artist Milan Ring performing her signature smooth jams, free orchestral concerts, art exhibitions, markets, lantern workshops, parades and the list goes on.

The Chatswood Year of the Rabbit Festival will run for four weeks across January and February 2023 . For more information you can visit the website.
