This Saturday, Toronto will host a grand and exciting Asian festival, the first of its kind in the city.
With the Lunar New Year—one of the most important traditional celebrations in Asian countries—just around the corner, the Toronto Spring Festival will take place on Saturday, January 25th to mark the occasion.

The Asian New Year celebration will run from 12 PM to 11 PM at Nathan Phillips Square.
The first fireworks display for the Asian New Year will also be held at City Hall.
It’s worth noting that, according to the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the Year of the Snake.

Mr. Blur Wu, the organizer of the Toronto Spring Festival, mentioned that while the Lunar New Year typically falls on the 28th night, the festival is held on the weekend to make it easier for people to attend.

Visitors can look forward to attractions such as a magical ice-skating performance, lion dances, live music, and a bustling market.
Food trucks will also be present, offering traditional Chinese dishes and other cuisines.

As you stroll around, you’ll encounter lion dances—a traditional art form where performers wear costumes to mimic the movements of a lion.
If you attend the festival, don’t forget to take photos, as the area will be adorned with spring lanterns, bright lights, and symbols of Chinese culture.

You can also shop at the festival market for various items, including traditional Chinese pieces.
The fireworks display will begin at 10 PM.

Don’t miss this vibrant celebration of culture, tradition, and community!
