Lunar New Year is one of the most important holidays for many Asian cultures, including Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese communities. It’s a special time to gather with family and friends, honour traditions, and share kai.

In Tauranga, celebrating cultural events, sharing stories and traditions helps to bring our community together and strengthens the connections that make our city vibrant and welcoming.

This weekend, bring your whānau and join some of the celebrations. 🎉
