Chinese New Year Events in Perth
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is a festival celebrating the start of the new year. This begins on the second new moon after the summer solstice in Australia and ends on the full moon fifteen days later. It is a time to see family and friends, and to enjoy special meals, fireworks and gift giving. Buggybuddys has your guide to family-friendly Chinese New Year events around Perth for 2025, the Year of the Snake.
