Chinese New Year Celebrations

Did you know Victoria’s Chinatown is the oldest in Canada?

It’s the perfect place to celebrate Chinese New Year’s - Year of the Rat - with performances and festivities. On January 26th from noon to 3 pm, be at the Gate of Harmonious Interest to watch the Lion dance parade will accept the offerings businesses have hung up for the lions to bring them good luck and prosperity.

Performers are volunteers and the proceeds from the collected offerings are used to fund teaching of the traditional Lion dance & Kung Fu in Victoria.

It's a lot of fun, but we suggest some ear plugs for you and the kids as it can get boisterous and loud.
