Lunar New Year Night Market 2019
The after-dark celebrations return to the Sydney Fish Markets with lanterns and a light show.
Overview
The year of the pig is almost here and, to celebrate, the Sydney Fish Market is staying up late once again to host its second Chinese New Year night market on Friday, February 8.
Done up with red hanging lanterns, the boardwalk will become a bustling hub of activity after-dark. Traditional red envelopes and special fortune cookies will be passed around — the former of which are meant to bring happiness and prosperity, and latter of which will include "fishy puns" for the new year.
This will all go on from 4–10pm amidst the madness of the fish market, which will include a parade of lion dance performers and a laser light show. The licensed restaurants will also have the requisite yum cha and other traditional Chinese dishes to feast on. The market's expecting over 100,000 visitors throughout the week, so it's sure to be one helluva celebration of 2019.
