Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, holds deep cultural significance for millions around the world and here in Canada.  

2025 is the Year of the Snake in the lunar calendar, symbolizing a time of personal growth and transformation, like a snake shedding its skin. This year, we’ve introduced a new way to explore and celebrate Lunar New Year across the region, and all it takes is a quick trip on the GO.  

We want to help you discover the vibrant celebrations and delectable foodie adventures taking place across the region this Lunar New Year – all conveniently accessible by GO Transit. From concerts to lantern shows, culinary gems and unique gifts, this ‘Michelin guide’ inspired map is full of easily accessible events.
