Join in the festivities at the City of Ryde Lunar New Year Festival. There is something for all ages with cultural performances, high pole lion dance, market stalls and food trucks.
There is plenty to keep the kids entertained with amusement rides, games and face painting and the top of the night a spectacular fireworks display.
Waste Wise Lunar New Year
As part of the City of Ryde’s commitment to creating a sustainable environment, the Lunar New Year Celebration is designated as a ‘Waste Wise Event’. Council is encouraging the community to minimise waste and recycle what cannot be avoided or reused.
Please remember to BYO water bottle, as no plastic water bottles will be on sale from our stallholders. We also encourage festival goers to BYO re-usable bags and coffee cups.
Together we can make a difference.
