The Chinese Lunar New Year takes over the 13th arrondissement of Paris from Monday January 27 to Saturday February 15, 2025. On the program: cultural events, shows, exhibitions and the
unmissable parade on Sunday February 9, the largest in the capital. JANUARY 29 is LUNAR NEW YEAR, a very important date in the Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese calendars, as it marks the
beginning of the New Year in these cultures! From Hong Kong to Paris, this event is celebrated with a rich variety of activities: PARADES, WORKSHOPS, EXHIBITIONS... The MAIRIE DU 13E, the
arrondissement with the best-known Chinatown, organizes a wide range of events every year. Once again this year, the 13th arrondissement is transformed to celebrate the start of a new lunar
year. In 2025, we move from the Year of the Dragon to that of the WOOD SNAKE. The festivities begin on JANUARY 27, with the inauguration of the STREET PAVOISEMENT, where lanterns and
traditional decorations adorn the district. The highlight is the CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE, scheduled for SUNDAY FEBRUARY 9. Dragons, dancing lions and colorful floats will parade down the
