A unique celebration, marked by two iconic dragon figures, Dai Gun Loong and Sun Loong, is set to enchant the city, embodying the spirit and vibrancy of the holiday.
Iconic Dragons Take Center Stage
As part of the festivities, the city will witness an event of rare magnitude. Sun Loong, a revered dragon figure, will make a special appearance out of retirement, joining Dai Gun Loong in a spectacle designed to captivate and entertain audiences of all ages.
Community Engagement and Free Advertising
This event is not just a celebration, but also a testament to community spirit. It’s part of a broader initiative allowing community and not-for-profit groups to advertise their events free of charge, both in the printed ‘Weekender’ edition of the local Bendigo Advertiser and online. This initiative aims to provide a platform that reaches a wide audience, ensuring local events receive deserved recognition and participation.
The Lunar New Year: A Celebration of Culture and Tradition
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is celebrated by various East Asian countries, each with their unique traditions and customs. 2024 marks the Year of the Wood Dragon, a zodiac sign revered in Chinese astrology and associated with power, honor, and luck. The holiday, known for its rich historical evolution, lasts up to 16 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival. This period is marked by various activities such as lion dances, calligraphy workshops, and art exhibitions, all embodying the spirit of the season and the cultural traditions associated with it.
