Wellington’s CBD will come to life with the thunderous rhythms of taiko drummers and dragon dancers, mirroring the sounds of galloping of horses to welcome in the Lunar New Year of the Horse.
Activations in Courtenay Place, Te Papa and Upper Frank Kitts Park will pave the way for a weekend of lunar new year celebrations in the capital city, finishing with a fabulous Fireworks Display over Wellington Waterfront.
