The Chinese New Year’s Eve countdown in Federation Square will begin at 11pm local time and will continue through until 2am.
The New Year’s Eve countdown will start with lion dancing and drumming, before a broadcast of the China CCTV’s national New Year’s Eve gala program ‘Chun Wan’ in Federation Square’s indoor theatre-Deakin Edge. This program will provide a chance for Chinese tourists, overseas Chinese students, members of the local Chinese community, as well as local Melburnians to join together and celebrate with each other.
The clock will countdown at 12 midnight to celebrate the return of spring and welcome the Year of the Monkey, plus a very prosperous 2016.
