The City of Vaughan’s annual Lunar New Year celebration returns! So, mark your calendars and come join us on Sunday, Feb. 9, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Vaughan City Hall for this year’s event, which will include fun family-friendly entertainment, musical performances, a traditional lion dance and free refreshments.
Of all the cultural festivals that are observed around the world, Lunar New Year is one of the most elaborate, colourful and important to the Asian community. It is about ushering in luck and prosperity and provides an opportunity to celebrate the previous year and welcome the new one.
In 2025, we recognize the Year of the Snake, which symbolizes personal growth, wisdom, intuition and transformation.
“I look forward to seeing friends, family and neighbours at Vaughan City Hall on Sunday, Feb. 9 for our annual Lunar New Year festivities. It promises to be another incredible celebration honouring Asian traditions with great food, entertainment and lots of fun for the whole family. This year, we ring in the Year of the Snake – a symbol of wisdom, longevity and transformation. I hope you’ll come out to celebrate with us, and I wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year!”
– Mayor Steven Del Duca
