Experience the magic of the Chinese New Year one last time by taking a piece of it home with you, courtesy of the Chinatown Festival Committee's generous Adopt-a-Lantern program. As the festive season winds down, the vibrant street decorations that have lit up Chinatown will be coming down. But here's the exciting part – you have the unique opportunity to keep one of these enchanting lanterns, completely free of charge.

This year's collection boasts an array of lanterns, from the intricate dragon designs that dangle above the streets to the glowing "吉祥" (meaning auspicious) ingots, dazzling LED fireworks, lively depictions of traditional dances, heartfelt blessings, and even the viral sensation of the celebration, the magnificent dragon centerpiece.

If you're eager to give one of these beautiful lanterns a new home, simply place your application along with your lantern preference on the People’s Association Website, starting from February 22 until March 1, 2024. Mark your calendars, as successful applicants will be contacted with further instructions by March 11, 2024. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to preserve a piece of this year's festivities!
