This year’s vibrant programme, which runs from Saturday 25 January until Sunday 2 February 2025, invites everyone to take part in a city-wide celebration that includes workshops, talks, tours, performances, film, visual art, and many family-friendly events.

Across Dublin there will be lots of interactive events for all ages to enjoy, from dance performances, bilingual storytelling, online language classes, food tasting, art exhibitions, comedy shows, film screenings, snake themed art workshops to learning all about these animals at Dublin Zoo.

Our flagship event (2 February), hosted in Meeting House Square, presents a dazzling line up of incredible performers from the Chinese, Korean and Mongolian communities. Say hello to the Year of the Snake with a series of Lion and Qilin performances from the legendary Flower City Dragon and Lion Dance Association, or 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. Get your face painted with your very own zodiac animal. Learn K-Pop dancing with 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 mouth watering cuisine and show stopping performers, to creative demonstrations and traditional Lunar New Year games – an exciting FREE family experience not to be missed.
