Liverpool gets ready for Chinese New Year celebrations 2020

September 21, 2022
|
by Editor

Liverpool will be bringing in the Year of the Rat in style with celebrations set to take place in the heart of Europe’s oldest Chinatown.

On Sunday 26 January, the Chinese New Year festivities will see traditional Chinese culture blended with modern performances to create must-see street, stage and music acts, aerial demonstrations, family workshops, a fairground along with the hugely popular dragon, unicorn and lion parades and firecracker displays.

The market will also make a return to George Street selling gifts, souvenirs and mouth-watering food.

As a result of the financial challenges facing the city council, this year’s free celebrations will all take place on the one day – starting at 11am and finishing around 5pm.

Building up to the main day of activity, over the next few days thousands of Chinese lanterns will adorn the city centre streets, and from Friday (10 January) a number of buildings will be illuminated in red in honour of the new year – signifying good fortune and joy to everyone. These buildings are the Cunard Building, Liverpool Town Hall, St George’s Hall, Central Library Picton Colonnades, Toxteth Library, World Museum, Open Eye Gallery, Everyman & Playhouse Theatres and Mersey Tunnels George’s Dock Building.

Keep up with the latest news by following Culture Liverpool on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook or head to www.cultureliverpool.co.uk/cny. Follow the conversation on socials with #CNYLiverpool.

The event has been organised by Liverpool City Council in partnership with the Liverpool Chinese New Year Co-ordinating committee.
