Liverpool will be marking the Chinese New Year 2025 with a vibrant celebration of food, music, art, and cultural traditions.
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, falls in January in 2025. Lunar New Year is a spectacular festival and for many cultures across Asia it is the most important of the year. The festival begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the calendar, and ends with the 'Lantern Festival' on the 15th day. The festival celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar.
This year, Wednesday, January 29, 2025, will mark in the beginning of the Year of the Snake. Last year, the Year of the Dragon, Liverpool’s Chinatown became a festival of sound and confetti with a packed programme of free events for everyone to enjoy. Landmarks throughout the region, such as Sefton Park Palm House, the Royal Liver Building and Liverpool Town Hall, have been known to light up in red to signify good fortune. While it is a period of huge celebration within the UK, it is not a public holiday like it is in China and other Asian countries. Despite this, Merseyside-based Chinese-owned businesses, along with others across the country, may close temporarily or have different operating hours due to the importance of the holiday. While a full programme of events is yet to be confirmed, the streets will once again be decorated with beautiful Chinese lanterns in celebration of Chinese New Year. Not only that, but Liverpool's celebrations will include the traditional parade, live music performances, food stalls with delicious Chinese food, art workshops, and activities. National Museums Liverpool will be holding special events on February 1, February 8 and February 22 between 11am and 12pm, and 1pm to 4pm at the Museum of Liverpool. As the museum looks forward to its special 'Lion Dance' display on Sunday, February 23 this year, there will be a number of creative sessions where guests can enjoy a free craft activity for all age
