Chinatown to usher in Lunar New Year with horse-themed decorations
Chinatown is set to be transformed again to celebrate the Lunar New Year and usher in the Year of the Horse.
From January 11 to February 28, Chinatown will come alive with festive decorations, activities and performances.
Highlights include a street light-up featuring 88 horse-shaped lanterns, nightly stage shows and lion dance performances.
This year's celebration also plans to involve more youngsters through the use of social media, and also by roping in youths to lead free walking tours around Chinatown, which will be conducted by the Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng Citizens' Consultative Committee (KA-KS CCC) on January 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26.
The Chinese New Year's official light-up and opening ceremony will take place on January 11, and will be attended by President Tony Tan Keng Yam.
This year's theme and decor was a collaboration between the Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng Citizens' Consultative Committee and the Singapore University of Technology and Design.
To kick-start the Lunar New Year, MediaCorp's Channel 8 will be hosting a countdown party on January 30.
