Chinatown Family Day

London’s Chinatown will host its second Family Day festival on Sunday 19 July 2015, and the event is set to be the biggest to take place in the area outside of the annual Chinese New Year.

This completely free event will see the area’s streets welcoming an array of entertainment and activities for families and there will be something for everyone.

There will be two stages that will form the focal points of the day dedicated to exciting entertainment such as fan dancing showcases, family magic shows and for the first time, will feature Chinese Elvis, the original and the best, who has been invited to play at a number of major UK festivals including the closing act at Latitude 2012.

Meanwhile, around the Chinatown streets, you’ll be able to enjoy a whole host of exciting acts including the world-famous Lion Dance display which is one of the mainstays of any Chinese celebration, traditional Chinese stilt walkers, pot jugglers and drummers. There will also be martial arts and Chinese circus performers as well as a treasure hunt, face painting and calligraphy classes for the children.

Come down and join the fun and remember to come with a good appetite! Being home to over 100 restaurants and 17 types of cuisine, Family Day will also offer people the opportunity to try the diverse range of food with many of Chinatown’s restaurants offering special family menus and treats for visitors throughout the day.
