As we celebrate the closing of this year’s Dublin Lunar New Year festival, Meeting House Square will be transformed by a vibrant all ages event that is not to be missed. 

Join us for our line up of incredible performers from the Chinese, Korean and Mongolian communities. Say hello to the Year of the Snake with a series of Cantonese Lion and Qilin performances from the legendary Flower City Dragon and Lion Dance Association, release your inner Snake with the students of the Sam Lee Academy who will demonstrate how to harness your inner chi with the slow and graceful movements of the late Sam Lee’s style of Tai Chi, learn some K-Pop moves from the spectacular dancers of Pink K-pop Academy. Drop into Seoul Kitchen, Ireland’s first Korean street food market stall, offering an authentic South Korean cultural experience using fabulous Korean sauces directly from South Korea. Swing by Bahay, known for their authentic and incredible Filipino street food, with a focus on locally grown, seasonal Irish produce with Filipino flavours and cooking styles.

There is something for everyone to enjoy, from authentic cuisine and dazzling performers, to creative demonstrations and traditional Lunar New Year games. 

Dublin Lunar New Year’s flagship event at Meeting House Square will take place on Sunday 2nd February from 12pm-6pm. The event is free to attend. All ages welcome.
