Quote :: In 2009 we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Christchurch Lantern Festival and the Chinese New Year.

Where and when: Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 February, Victoria Square
Festival highlights and performances

We started the Lantern Festival in 2000, the Year of the Dragon, and this year – the Year of the Ox – we will have worked our way through 10 of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac.

Join us in wearing your traditional Chinese or Japanese cosplay/costume outfits to celebrate the Chinese/Japanese New Year.

(yeah i know it is the chinese new year, but Japan celebrates it as well)

I'll try get my parents to "drag" me to it, then come and hang out with any cosplayers in the area.
Probably not in cosplay myself, though.

One year, when I first went, they were selling these little hand held lanterns. One had a symbol on it, the other some cartoon characters. I was just at the very beginning of my education in anime (I had watched 2ish episodes of Naruto), so I bought it for a laugh. Turned out it was Naruto and Sakura on it.
Sakura had blue hair.

Very Happy

By Rocky. 15/01/09, 08:03 am

Okay so the Valentines day outing has been postponed a week? The 21st or something right? :think:

There's the Teddy bears picnic on sunday the 15 febuary but that finshes at 3pm. So saturday os sunday after 3pm would be a good time, me thinks, well for me anyway! Razz
