Chinese New Year kicks off this weekend with a huge procession which will start in Trafalgar Square at 10am.

It’s all taking place on the 10th February and you can expect a lot of fun with colourful stalls, dancing and (most importantly) a lot of good food.

The parade will follow a route along to Rupert Street and there will be more than 100 performances in and around the area.

Look for the obvious acts, such as Chinese dragons, lions and acrobatics between 1-5.30pm. There will also be some well-known artists performing such as Emmy the Great and the Chen Brothers.

The Britain’s Got Talent Winner, Paul Potts, will also be there and there will be an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for Gangnam Style (something we might avoid).

The day ends with a spectacular firework display at 5.55pm and the whole area will be rammed with food stalls and displays.
