Chinese Cultural Festival Tour

13th September 2016

It’s the 6th annual Central Coast Chinese Cultural Festival, also celebrating the Chinese Moon Festival. The festival is on Sunday 18th September at The Entrance Memorial Park from 10.00am till 3.00pm and entry is free.

A highlight of the festival is the traditional lion dance opening with clashing of their cymbals and drums, as the Lions are awakened and continue to put on a magical and spectacular show. After the official opening the lions and dragons roam through the mall and the Main Street of The Entrance.

The Moon festival is the second largest Chinese festival after New Year Festival and is held on the full moon in mid-autumn in China. Families gather around at home and admire the beauty of the full moon. Moon cake is eaten and this is a feature of our festival with free tasting of moon cake and sampling of many varieties of Chinese tea. In addition the festival is the largest multicultural festival on the coast with the main multicultural groups including the Indians, Filipinos and Africans will be showcasing in the park with stalls and performances.There’s lot of stalls including Chinese medicine, food and crafts. Tai-chi, fashion parades and Szechuan Face changer performance.These performers are very rare, even more so in Australia, so this is a once in a lifetime chance to see a dying art.

It’s no too late to book accommodation and make a weekend of it. Visit The Entrance has a wide range of accommodation from budget to luxury. Please visit www.visittheentrance.com.au to book for the weekend.
