This February will be saying goodbye to the Year of the Ox and welcoming the Year of the Tiger. Though the Spring Festival (Chunjie), or Chinese New Year, is celebrated by Chinese communities around the world, what makes Singapore’s celebration unique is the way the tradition is given a modern spin. Expect to see a dazzling display of lights, decorations and spectacular arches, themed to welcome the Year of the Tiger.
Highlights:–
• Light-up along the streets of Chinatown (23 January 2010 – 7 March 2010)
• Festive street stalls selling goodies and souvenirs (23 January 2010 – 13 February 2010)
• Nightly stage shows at Kreta Ayer Square (23 January 2010 – 13 February 2010)
• International Lion Dance Competition
