the Pacific Coliseum, PNE Fair Grounds, Vancouver; "Kung Hay Fat Choy"
is probably the most widely known Chinese language greeting in the world.
It is recognized by most cultural groups as the most appropriate and welcomed
blessing during the Lunar New Year time. Chinese have many traditions during
the Lunar New Year. They include getting rid of old items, wearing new
clothes, exchanging gifts, handing out red pockets and decorating homes
to get ready for visits from friends and relatives. Therefore, markets
are set up before the New Year to cater for this upswing in purchasing
power. Chinese New Year Fair is found wherever there is a Chinese community.
It is not only a market place; it is a symbol of tradition. People believe
visiting a New Year Fair will bring good luck to the family all year round.
