Sydney Lunar Streets – Haymarket street festival

Kick off your Lunar New Year celebrations at Sydney Lunar Streets!

From Chinatown to Thaitown, the laneways of Haymarket light up for an unforgettable street festival to welcome in the Year of the Horse.

Join us as we celebrate with lion dances, DJs, street food, markets, traditional and contemporary performances. See our fire horse installation rise up over Dixon Street, and roam under the canopy of lanterns on Hay Street.

Your year of good fortune and prosperity starts in the heart of Haymarket.
