The celebration for welcoming in the Chinese Lunar New Year is the most important festive event for the Chinese community, as it's believed that the new beginning will bring in a rejuvenation of luck and fortune, and we definitely need some after the year we have been through. 

The fifth annual Chinese New Year Parade is again proud to present to Christchurch another unique combination of traditional and contemporary performance art by our local Chinese community. 

It's our wish that Christchurch can come and not just share with our joy of this celebration but share in our hope the new year will bring many blessing for our city and the world. 

Come help us usher in the year of the Golden Ox with colourful dances and loud music.
