On Saturday, February 28, the community flocked to Riverlinks Eastbank to ring in the Lunar New Year with a cultural and creative spectacle, hosted by the Goulburn Valley Chinese Association.
Lion dance performances, traditional Chinese music, food trucks, hands-on calligraphy and craft workshops – every corner of the venue had heads turning and interests piquing.
News photographer Rechelle Zammit was in the midst of it all, capturing the event as it unfolded.
The Bendigo Chinese Association’s performance of a lion dance was the ‘mane’ event.
