LunarFest welcomes local artists and artisans to be part of our Lunar New Year artist market! Join us for an all-ages weekend market showcasing Vancouver’s creative side while sharing stories of culture and tradition. 

2025 Year of the Snake inspires our theme “Fluidity in Diversity”. The Lunar New Year is the time for new beginnings, and new choices. Every day, we navigate between dichotomies: witnessing authoritative systems walk the line between exercising power and exerting fear, asking ourselves if the risk and reward is worth our action. Striking a balance can be a compromise, where we are flexible to other ideas. When what is different is embraced and celebrated, diversity blooms. The snake is a creature of fluidity; what might appear as a straight line can also form a circle, reminding ourselves that we can never have one without the other.

If you have a cultural connection to the Lunar New Year, if your works are inspired by your heritage, or if you are an artist with stories to share about the Year of the Snake, come join our market!
