VivoCity Ushers in Chinese New Year 2026 with a Grand Celebration of Reunion and Festive Joy

VivoCity is set to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with a vibrant line-up of festive experiences as it launches its Chinese New Year 2026 campaign, Timeless Reunion, Endless Joy. Running from 27 January to 16 February 2026, the celebration brings together cultural traditions, immersive décor, retail highlights and family-friendly activities that embody the spirit of reunion, abundance and shared joy.

Inspired by the symbolism of the traditional Eight Treasure Tray, VivoCity’s Chinese New Year programme centres on togetherness and the joy of sharing, values that lie at the heart of the festive season.

A Larger-Than-Life Eight Treasure Tray Centrepiece

Taking centre stage from 27 January to 3 March 2026 is a striking, larger-than-life Eight Treasure Tray installation at the Outdoor Plaza, Level 1. Reimagined on a grand scale, the immersive display showcases iconic festive treats and symbolic design elements associated with prosperity and reunion.

Designed as a warm and welcoming gathering spot, the installation doubles as a photo-worthy backdrop for families and friends to capture festive moments together. Zodiac reading panels also surround the display, inviting visitors to discover insights and well-wishes for the Year of the Fire Horse.

TANGS Chinese New Year Fair Returns

Adding to the festive buzz, the popular TANGS Chinese New Year Fair returns to VivoCity from 27 January to 15 February 2026 at the Central Court, Level 1. Open daily from 10am to 10pm, the fair features more than 45 booths offering festive treats, hampers and gift sets from a mix of well-loved local favourites and established regional brands.

Highlights include traditional delights from Goodwood Park Hotel such as yam cake, celebratory cakes and festive cookies. CB (Sigma Food) presents premium frozen seafood alongside Chinese New Year essentials like Pen Cai and canned abalone.

Shoppers with a sweet tooth can explore festive cookies from Soicoco, Hanako and BB Atelier, artisanal snacks from Pinch Bakehouse, and Shanghai-inspired cookies and savoury treats from Shanghai Pai 310. Lo Hong Ka rounds out the selection with elegant hampers and nourishing bird’s nest offerings.

Festive Finds Across the Mall

Beyond the atrium fair, VivoCity’s tenants are rolling out a wide range of Chinese New Year-inspired offerings. From reunion-ready dining and festive treats to thoughtful gifts and seasonal fashion, shoppers can curate their own modern Eight Treasure Tray, filled with meaningful items to share, gift and enjoy throughout the season.
