What an incredible celebration.
Our Chinese New Year Festival 2026 has now come to a successful close, and we are truly grateful to everyone who made it possible.
This year, our indoor Cultural Variety Show at Lancaster Grand Theatre achieved over 95% occupancy, filling the theatre with music, dance, Shaolin Kung Fu, Kunqu Opera, singing and the warmth of our community.
Our outdoor celebration also brought thousands of people into Lancaster city centre to enjoy the parade, performances, workshops, food, culture and festive atmosphere together.
We have just finished editing the official festival video, and watching it back has reminded us how special this year was — every smile, every performance, every volunteer, every family, and every moment of support helped bring the festival to life.
A huge thank you to our artists, performers, volunteers, partners, sponsors, funders, traders, local businesses, media supporters, and every single person who attended, shared, donated, helped, or cheered us on.
This festival is not just about one event. It is about bringing people together, celebrating culture, creating memories, and building a more connected community.
From all of us at the Lancaster Chinese New Year Festival — thank you for being part of our story. ❤️
Please enjoy our festival highlights video, and we hope to see you again next year! 🐎✨
