The Lunar Calendar places New Year’s Day at the end of January or the beginning of February. This year, Lunar New Year, aka Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, falls on February 10, 2024, the day of the second new moon. Celebrations for the Year of the Dragon continue for approximately 15 days.
Mississauga has a large and diverse Asian population. Every year there are many events held there to usher in the Lunar New Year.

Mississauga Chinese Arts Organization (MCAO) is presenting the 2024 Mississauga Night – Lunar New Year Gala to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. They are producing a spectacular show featuring performers of Chinese traditional arts and Multicultural arts with diverse groups.
