On January 29, 2025, the UK witnessed widespread celebrations for the Chinese Lunar New Year, as the Year of the Snake arrived. East and Southeast Asian communities across the country played a leading role in organizing these public festivities.
In London, thousands flocked to Chinatown. The annual new year parade(游行) was a spectacular sight. There were lively dragon and lion dances. People wore bright, colorful costumes(服装), and dozens of amazing floats moved through the streets. This event is known as the largest Lunar New Year celebration outside Asia. London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, expressed his gratitude. He said East and Southeast Asian Londoners had made the capital city more lively and inclusive(包容的).
Liverpool, with Europe’s oldest Chinese community, was decorated with red lanterns. Celebrations included dragon, lion, and unicorn parades, live music and firecrackers. There was also a wildflower garden, where lots of flowers made by children added to the charm.
Zi Lan Liao from Pagoda Arts said the Chinese Lunar New Year was special for kids because they received presents, delicious food, and lucky money.
In Newport, Wales, a green snake model was carried on poles. In Edinburgh, a concert blended Scottish and Chinese cultures, with performances by the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra. In Northern Ireland, Belfast’s Ulster Hall held Chinese cook shows and a day full of dance and music.
