A weekend of activities to mark 20 years of
Wellington’s Chinese New Year celebrations will go off
with a bang on Saturday 13 February. The capital city’s
night will light up with a fireworks display to farewell the
Year of the Rat and welcome in the Year of the Ox, supported
by Stonewood Capital.
Believed to have originated in
ancient times, fireworks were
used during
Chinese New Year celebrations when noise and fire were
thought to dispel evil spirits and bring good luck to
communities for the coming year.
