WELCOME! KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!
The Eastwood Lunar New Year Festival continues
to grow each and every year and provides us all
with the perfect opportunity to come together to
celebrate our diverse and multicultural community.
A range of exciting activities are planned that will
transform Eastwood Oval into a sea of culture
and colour, including performances from cultural
groups, dragon dances, lion high pole, market stalls
and shows catered specifically for kids.
The Eastwood Lunar New Year Festival would not
be possible without the support of its sponsors,
particularly Diamond sponsor Go Markets.
I would also like to acknowledge the members of
the Lunar New Year Committee and staff from the
City of Ryde for all of their hard work in organising
I wish everyone great happiness and prosperity this year’s event.

Festival and welcome in the Year of the Rat.

GETTING THERE
The 2020 festival will be held on Eastwood Oval after its successful transition to this new
location last year. Parking is limited so leave the car at home and catch a bus or train.
Eastwood Train and Bus Interchange is adjacent to Eastwood Oval. Please note there will be
a small road closure of West Parade for traffic and therefore buses have been diverted to pick
up and set down on the east side of the station between 11.00am and 10.00pm.
Visit Trip Planner at www.transportnsw.info to organise your journey from start to finish.
WASTE WISE LUNAR NEW YEAR
As part of the City of Ryde’s commitment to the creating a sustainable
environment, the Lunar New Year Celebration is designated as a ‘Waste
Wise Event’. Council is encouraging the community to minimise waste
and recycle what cannot be avoided or reused.
Please remember to BYO water bottle, as no plastic water bottles will
be on sale from our stallholders.
We also encourage festival goers to BYO re-usable bags and
coffee cups.
Together we can make a difference.
YEAR OF THE RAT
The Rat is the first of all zodiac animals. According to one story, the Jade
Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived
to his party. The quick-witted Rat asked the Ox to take him on the ride across
the river. As they arrived at the finish line, the Rat jumped down and landed
ahead of the Ox, becoming first.
People born in the year of the Rat are clever, quick thinkers who often do
well in business.
Years of the Rat include: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020.
