Celebrate Chinese New Year on Sunday, February 21st

London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the biggest in the world outside Asia – and we hope you’ll join us in Trafalgar Square this year to welcome the Year of the Tiger.

Two years ago, more than 300,000 people enjoyed London's Chinese New Year celebrations for the Year of the Rat – events included a two-hour parade through the West End with crowds lining the streets to watch lions, dragons and dancers make their way through Chinatown. In Trafalgar Square, spectators enjoyed displays of acrobatics, martial arts, opera and Chinese dance, while Leicester Square played host to an hourly firework and firecracker display.

Mayor of London Ken Livingstone described the celebrations, organised by the London Chinatown Chinese Association, as one of the highlights of London’s calendar – don’t miss this year’s party on Sunday, February 21st.
