An outdoor festival celebrating the Lunar New Year will take place in Dickson across three weekends, starting from the end of January.

Dickson’s Woolley Street will be transformed into a kaleidoscope of colours, sounds, tastes and activities to welcome in the Year of the Water Tiger.

The celebrations will include musical performances, dance and martial arts displays and workshops.

Taking place from Thursday 27 January to Monday 31 January (the eve of the Lunar New Year), and then from 3 to 5 February and 10 to 12 February, there are plenty of chances to join in on the fun. Entertainment will be on offer between 6-8pm, and during the day on Saturdays.
