Lancaster Chinese New Year Carnival

The Lancaster Chinese New Year Carnival is an incredible mix of colour, music, and celebration as dancers, drummers, and community groups come together to mark the Chinese New Year. A vibrant showcase of culture and creativity that brings people into the heart of the city.

The Hua Xian Chinese Society are the organisers of the Lancaster’s Chinese (or Lunar) New Year celebrations – an annual celebration of Chinese culture and platform for artists in the arts, music and theatre.

Its biggest event is the Lancaster Chinese New Year Carnival which brings together street markets, funfair rides, live entertainment, music, dance and martial arts into the centre of the city with the stage in Market Square and a parade that winds its way around Lancaster’s high streets along Penny Street, Church Street and New Street.
