Apart from the usual family visits and festive overeating, there are many other ways to celebrate the Lunar New Year. And one of them is the Wan Qing Festival of Spring 2025, that is set to take place at SAFRA Punggol this year. In collaboration with the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, this Lunar New Year event promises a mix of cultural charm, hands-on workshops, and dazzling performances perfect for the entire family.
Try your hand at crafting snakelet pineapple tarts, shaping rainbow-coloured tangyuan, or designing intricate Chinese opera masks. Younger visitors can channel their energy into lion dance and festive drumming workshops, while free activities like Chinese zodiac ink rubbing and fun-filled mini-games will keep the whole family entertained.
And it doesn’t stop there – look forward to live performances, including the rare and vibrant Hakka Qilin dance, captivating Chinese opera excerpts, and a lovely mix of traditional and Western melodies by Stringanza’s Chinese string quartet. Don’t miss the chance to test your knowledge and teamwork during the Lunar New Year Family Fun Contest, or immerse yourself in heritage with the travelling exhibitions, exploring Chinatown’s festive past and the history of Wan Qing Yuan.
