Lunar New Year is usually celebrated with vibrant festivals around the country, featuring Asian food stalls, lion dancing, and cultural performances.
It s a special time comparable to Christmas on the Asian calendar, with more than a million Australians, mostly from the Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese communities, coming together to celebrate their cultures and traditions.
However, the upcoming holiday from February 12 to 26 will look very different from previous years, with many public events either cancelled, scaled back or moved online due to the coronavirus pandemic.
