A new year is almost upon us!

An annual festival that brings together the diverse communities of Vancouver to welcome a new year, LunarFest presents a variety of activities for all ages throughout February. In 2025, under the theme Fluidity in Diversity, we are exploring how the snake’s adaptability and duality can inspire us to be “out with the old, and grow with the new”!

If you’re interested in learning about culture and arts, volunteer with us for the 2025 LunarFest!

Looking for strong individuals willing help install The Lantern City. Moving and lifting lanterns outdoors are required. You will also learn about the installation process for building The Lantern City for Lunar New Year!
