In the opening speech, I highlighted the significance of The 16th Sydney Oriental Spring Festival Gala: "It marks the starting point for Sydney's 2025 Lunar New Year celebrations. Together, we celebrate the first Lunar New Year after UNESCO officially recognized the Lunar New Year as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is a historic moment, and we are honoured to witness it here in Hurstville. "
