Birmingham Chinese New Year Celebrations

Packing out Southside’s Arcadian Centre every Chinese New Year the celebrations for 2012’s year of the Dragon promises to be the biggest yet.

2011: Chinese New Year, Year of the Rabbit

Get a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart this February and be ready to celebrate. This Thursday, the 3rd of February is Chinese New Year!

This year is Year of the Rabbit and I’ve been in Birmingham’s Chinatown stocking up on fortune cookies (£1 a bag) and sweeties packed in an opulent cute gold rabbit money box (£3.50), both from the Day In supermarket in Cathay Street, Arcadian Centre.
