The Auckland Art Gallery’s FREE Lunar New Year festival returns on Saturday 1 February! Welcoming back the spectacular Tung Tek lion dancers who will be performing on the Auckland Art Gallery forecourt. You can also participate in a programme of family-focused workshops inspired by delicious yee sang curated by Rosabel Tan, view and learn more about resources on Asian art and artists, and have a go at making some calligraphy snake keepsakes.

Talented musicians Iris Zhang and Raging Flowers will perform live sets, followed by some chilled vibes courtesy of EDY and Sam Nakamura on our East Terrace.
