Don't Forget - Chinese New Year in London this weekend

Although the date for Chinese New Year, the 'Year of the Rabbit' fell yesterday on Thursday 3 February, the official celebrations in London will be taking place on Sunday 6 February this year.

Organised by the London Chinatown Chinese Association, celebrations will start at 11am noon, with the main stage in Trafalgar Square featuring world-class dance, music and acrobatics and, of course, firecrackers! In Shaftesbury Avenue, a smaller stage will showcase more contemporary Chinese acts and artists, with Chinatown itself being transformed into a vibrant Chinese market with cultural stalls, traditional food and spectacular 'lion dance' displays throughout the day.
