There will be lots of fun for the whole family. Sunnybank's New Year Festival celebrations literally finish with a bang, with a fireworks spectacle. Enjoy the Asian culture of the pop-up laneway with the ancient art of brush-calligraphy workshops, beautiful and elegant fruit and vegetable carving, silk embroidery workshops and much more.



Come along to five days of free celebrations for the Lunar New Year from Wednesday 10 February to Sunday 14 February at 358 Mains Road, Sunnybank. There's a range of entertainment and activities which showcase a variety of performances and cultural demonstrations. The programme includes an Asian Film Festival at Hoyts and you can experience delish Asian dining and fresh food. Sunnybank boasts Brisbane's largest variety of Authentic Asian eats with over 60 restaurants and cafes and 180 specialty stores. There really is something for everyone.

There's a whole programme of live entertainment and the highlights include a traditional lion dance, live music, cultural dancers and other live performances and workshops. Plus there will be games and activities for all ages. As the sun sets, stay for the grand finale - a FREE spectacular fireworks display which will light up the summer night sky and leave you breathless.



Sunnybank and surrounding suburbs are justifiably proud of their authentic Asian cuisine. Purchase some dinner or snacks from one of the many restaurants, food trucks and stalls. And there is much more than the ever-popular Chinese food. Will you choose Thai (my favourite), delish Japanese (try fresh sushi), Vietnamese, Korean or one of the other Asian foods featured? Will you go for your favourite or try something entirely new? So many choices in one place.



Highlights include:
  • Calligragraphy demonstrations plus calligraphy workshop for children.
  • Beautiful Fruit and Vegetable Carving.
  • Feng Shui consultations.
  • Lunar New Year Wishing Wall.
  • Lucky red Packet making.
  • Zen garden.
  • Silk Emroidery workshops.



  • Lion and Dragon Dances
    Both lion and dragon dances have been performed in China for over a thousand years, even though neither dragons nor lions existed in ancient China. They have become important symbols of good luck and prosperity and are performed at Lunar New Year and other cultural events. What's the difference between the lion dance and the dragon dance? Although they are sometimes confused, it's easy to tell the difference. The fierce dragon dance with its long serpentine tail is performed by many dancers; whereas the playful lion dance is only two acrobatic dancers. Simple.
