Celebrate Lunar New Year 2027 in Dickson as Woolley Street comes alive with colour, music and community spirit. From morning until night, enjoy a full day of performances, food and family fun as we welcome the Year of the Fire Goat.

“Lunar New Year is an ancient celebration — a time to come together to welcome the New Year, share blessings, gather as family and friends, and honour tradition, culture, and connection. The Dickson Lunar New Year Festival brings these elements together, creating a bridge between Canberra’s communities and cultivating shared moments of culture, curiosity, connection set to the sound of good music, and over a plate of delicious street food.”
