Celebrate the Year of the Rat at the Festival’s most compelling extravaganza – the Chinese New Year Parade. This event keeps on getting bigger and better, with more stunning costumes and dazzling displays than ever before.

Featuring 2,500 performers including 600 people and floats from China’s historic Shaanxi Province and local Chinese community groups, this year’s Parade promises to be the most exciting yet with a newly extended route and a concert to finish in Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour.

For the first time the Parade will be divided into themes and colours representing key elements within Sydney’s Chinese community. New floats, more performers with beautiful costumes and the huge Chinese New Year lanterns, will make this an event to remember.
