Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Vaughan!
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.
Pre-registration is encouraged. Confirm your attendance for the event online.
