Join Cyrildene in welcoming in the Year of the Rabbit on Sat, Jan 28. Restaurants spill into the streets, lights adorn the ancient oaks and Derrick Ave becomes even more of a bustle than usual with New Chinatown taking the lead in Cyrildene's Lunar New Year Celebrations.

The event is always a memorable affair as dragons dance between the cars on Derrick Ave and fireworks colour the night. With plenty of scrumptious Chinese restaurants to choose from we recommend booking your table early if you want to sit down to eat. Some spots to try if you're looking for a good view of the parade are: Shun De (+27 11 615 1269) and Diao Yu Dao (+27 11 615 1715) or for a typical Chinese hotpot try Chon Qing Hot Pot which has a balcony overlooking the street (+27 83 554 3054). And if you can't get a booking, strolling the streets while snacking from the food stalls scattered next to the road is never a great second option.
