The Chinese Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a vibrant and meaningful celebration that marks the beginning of the lunar calendar year. In 2024, the festivities began on February 10 and welcomed the powerful and auspicious Year of the Dragon—an iconic symbol of strength, courage, and prosperity in Chinese culture.
At Opalia Plaza, the Lunar New Year is a special time for the local community to come together and embrace these rich traditions. The celebration often includes lively lion and dragon dances believed to bring good fortune and ward off negative energy, alongside captivating cultural performances such as traditional music, dance, and martial arts displays. Shoppers and families may also enjoy interactive experiences like calligraphy, lantern making, and themed workshops, all designed to honour the spirit of the new year. And of course, no Lunar New Year is complete without delicious food—festive favourites like dumplings and sweet treats help bring people together in the most joyful of ways.
The 2024 celebration at Opalia Plaza was not only a colourful display of culture and community spirit, but also a tribute to new beginnings, shared experiences, and the bold energy of the Dragon year.
