Every year, Lunar New Year is celebrated by millions across the globe, and is the largest multicultural celebration in Australia. It marks the turn of the Lunar calendar in China, Vietnam and Korea, the date of which is dictated by the moon.
Each year is marked by one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and 2017 marks the year of the Fire Rooster. Roosters are known for being hardworking, resourceful, courageous and talented.
It is an occasion for families to gather, sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red decorations. Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes!
To celebrate Lunar New Year, SBS Radio is giving away Flight Centre gift vouchers worth $500 each.
