Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival, is one of the most eagerly anticipated occasions each year. This is the biggest and most significant event of the Chinese community, and it is observed by Singaporeans from all walks of life.

Chinese New Year festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th day. In 2011, the first and second days of Chinese New Year fall on February 3 and 4, which are public holidays in Singapore.

In the weeks before and after Chinese New Year, Chinatown celebrates with a dazzling outdoor light-up, street stalls packed with festive treats, and auspicious Chinese lion dances. But don't stop there, for the city has much more in store. Explore the cultural village of the River HongBao at Marina Bay, and don't miss Asia's grandest street and floats parade, the Chingay Parade Singapore, in front of City Hall. Also not to be missed is Huayi - Chinese Festival of Arts which showcases the best of Chinese culture and art at the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay.
