BrisAsia Festival presents Lunar New Year in the Gardens. Celebrate the Year of the Sheep with a fun-filled afternoon at the Botanic Gardens! Join us for a dazzling Lunar New Year spectacular to ignite the spirt of the Fire Sheep with creativity, enthusiasm and joy. Immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of traditional music, dance and theatre from across Asia. From energetic Chinese lion dancing to an impressive showcase of Indonesian’s percussive music from Efique Zulficar, and the thundering rhythms of Japanese drumming by Tenzin Choegyal with UQ Taiko, it’s a celebration like no other. Bring your loved ones and spread your picnic rug beneath the shady trees and feast on mouth-watering Asian street food while enjoying the entertainment. There will also be k-pop, juggling and kids’ workshops with ABC, with plenty more for the whole family to see and do. Come along, join the celebrations and experience an afternoon of music, movement and culture. BrisAsia Festival 2027 is Brisbane City Council’s annual celebration of Asian arts and culture that connects cultures, communities and generations across our city. BrisAsia Festival 2027 is proud to have ABC as the Official Media Partner and be produced by Sound Across Oceans. This event is presented in partnership with 612 ABC Brisbane.
