Overview

The Kensington Street precinct is taking the Year of the Dog very literally, celebrating the Lunar New Year this Saturday, February 17 with real live pups running amok through its laneways — plus free wine.

First up, they've invited Sydney Dogs and Cats Homes to bring some doggos along, so you can have a cuddle while enjoying a complimentary glass of wine. Donations are encouraged and adoptions welcomed, as long as it isn't just the free booze talking.

Patrons are also encouraged to BYO their pup for a slew of activities, including professional family photos, caricaturist drawings and doggo treats like ice cream and even dog beer. If you need a break from your best friend to enjoy the festivities, they're also offering up doggie daycare.

Apart from the dog-mania, the precinct will host its annual block party, with Spice Alley, Handpicked Wines and the Old Clare teaming up to put on food and drink specials. Traditional lion dancers, fortune tellers, karaoke, lantern making classes and noodle demonstrations will round out the evening.
