Georges River Council hosted Sydney Metro’s biggest Council-led Lunar New Year celebration, marking the 21st year of the festival being celebrated in the area.

Georgie the Dragon featured in our logo, references the legend of Saint George, representing both our connection with the wider St George area and Council’s aim to be a positive leader for change.

Lunar New Year celebrations are marked by various cultural customs, traditions, and festivities that vary across different regions and ethnic groups. The Lunar New Year is significant culturally, socially, and economically in many Asian communities, symbolising new beginnings, the reunion of families, and the welcoming of prosperity and good fortune for the coming year. It is celebrated based on the cycles of the moon, typically falling between late January and mid-February in the Gregorian calendar.
