Say hello to the Year of the Dragon with Newcastle's epic annual Chinese New Year celebrations!

A riot of sound and colour, the extravaganza takes place on Sunday 11th February and features the traditional parade of lion and dragon dances which this year will start at Grey's Monument before winding its way along Blackett Street and Gallowgate and towards the Chinese Arch at Stowell Street. 

In Chinatown itself, the festivities will continue with restaurants showcasing delicious Chinese food and arts and crafts activities like Chinese calligraphy. Plus, there'll be stalls and children's rides all day on Bath Lane.
