Chinese New Year Twilight Parade 2015

Overview

In honour of the Year of the Sheep, this year's Twilight Parade is going to be particularly woolly and adorable. The parade will be filled with spectacular lanterns, floats and dragons and, as always, will begin with the ancient eye dotting ceremony to awaken the spirit of the lion and end with a display of fireworks in Darling Harbour. This year the parade will feature some particularly home-grown treats, including a giant merino, shearers and knitting grannies, while projections will light up the city's building with the story of Chinese shepherds in Australia and images celebrating the sheep's characteristics of creativity and kindness.
