Chinese New Year on Kensington Street
Fortune tellers, shadow puppeteers and piles of spicy deliciousness.
Overview
Chippo Creative Precinct is ushering in the Year of the Monkey with a Kensington Street takeover. There'll be everything that a new year deserves: piles of delicious food, epic art installations, live performance and heaps of chances to dance.
More specifically, the celebrations will embrace various elements of Chinese culture. Prepare to meet lion dancers and shadow puppeteers, hear future predictions from a fortune teller and see poetry in motion at the hands of calligraphy masters.
As you've probably guessed by now, all the food action will be happening in Spice Alley. In fact, the cobblestoned laneway's resident vendors are throwing a massive lunar feast. Watch their clever, clever chefs whipping up spicy dishes, while traditional dancers whirl past, responding to ballads performed by live erhu players.
