Enjoy a sumptuous dinner buffet featuring authentic Chinese cuisine from the many iconic provinces of Mainland China.

Welcome the Year of the Monkey at the 2016 Cairns Airport Chinese New Year Street Festival.

The festival showcases the north Queensland's cultural diversity and rich Chinese heritage through music, dance and cultural performances, food, market stalls, and a parade featuring the traditional Chinese dragon, lions and the 12 zodiac animals.

The signature event, the Chinese New Year Street Festival will be held in Grafton Street between Shields and Spence Streets. Grafton Street was the heart of the orignal Cairns Chinatown precinct circa 1880 to 1910 (formerly known as Sachs St).

This is a great family event suitable for all ages.

Note: Grafton St, between Spence and Shields streets, will be closed for traffic from early Saturday morning to Sunday morning.
