DON’T forget to call down to The Square this Saturday when a dreary January day will be livened up with the sights and sounds all things Chinese.

It’s all to celebrate the Chinese New Year with the local community from China and Malaysia will bring colour to the area as they did at a very successful first festival of its kind back in January 2020.

Obviously, due to COVID, it’s been on hiatus for the past three years,  but tomorrow the people of Tralee have a chance to immerse themselves in the culture, history and traditions of China with traditional music, instruments and dress.
