Chinese New Year 2008 in Sydney
Citysearch writes:
2008 is the Year of the Rat on the Chinese calendar. Food always plays an important role in Sydney's Chinese New Year Festival and different dishes have specific significance. Noodles should be served long and uncut to guarantee long life for everyone at the table, and most families share a whole fish to suggest togetherness and abundance. A chicken symbolises prosperity and should always be served complete with head, tail and feet to represent completeness.For more see "Best Chinatown Restaurants in Sydney"
There are many ways to celebrate Chinese New Year. Here are some great Chinese New Year events, and some of Sydney's best Chinatown restaurants, so you can celebrate the Year of the Rat in style.

2008 Sydney Latino Festival
Come Party Latino Style at the 2008 Sydney Latino Festival
Friday 17th Jan – Sunday 20th Jan
Friday 17th Jan – Sunday 20th Jan
If you love Latin dance, music and culture then make sure that you samba up to Sydney Olympic Park for the Sydney Latino Festival.
The Festival is held from Friday 17th January to Sunday 20th January. Spanning over 4 nights and 3 days, the event attracts thousands of dancers from all over the world. Here's what you'll experience:
Late At The Garden
Late at the Garden's unpredictable collection of music's most eclectic offerings could not be more at home than in the Samsung Mobile Festival Garden.
Keep the Festival party going well into the night with artists including The Shuffle Club, Doch, Waiting For Guinness, Cookin On 3 Burners, Watussi and The Crusty Suitcase Band.
Jan 6, 7
SHUFFLE CLUB
High-energy swing and boogie outfit the SHUFFLE CLUB have left Festivals around the world gasping for breath. Expect dance hall mayhem, pin stripe suits with a de rigeur glimpse of suspenders and a fiery blend of swing, blues, jazz and boogie as you hit the dance floor.
Jan 8, 10, 11
DOCH
From big-band cacophonies to stomping dance tunes, French chansons to Russian drinking songs and rousing Serbian anthems, Brisbane-based DOCH breathe diabolical life into gypsy music traditions. Playing tunes begged, borrowed and originally composed, DOCH's line-up of luminous Aussie talent delivers a genuinely fiery Balkan experience.
Jan 12, 14, 15
WATUSSI
WATUSSI shake it up with funked-up Afro-Cuban rhythms mixed with raw rock riffs and distorted bass. This 8-piece band of Bondi Beach locals have been playing it wild, loud and live from Peat's Ridge to the Great Escape, throwing in Samba drumming and guests MCs in their dynamic live shows.
Jan 13 & Jan 20
SOULSHAKER
Sydney DJs Peter Glass and Robin Knight join forces as SoulShaker, delivering an eclectic mix of some of the deepest soul sounds. Having been avid collectors and spinners of a massive range of soul-infused music for many years, the SoulShaker boys know exactly how to stir up a night, dropping in a rhythm-bending experiment or a jaw-dropping classic for an awesome night of souful dance-floor surprises.
Jan 17, 21, 22
C.S.B. (CRUSTY SUITCASE BAND)
A heady cook-up of horns, drums and old-school instrumentation, C.S.B. is the brainchild of two of Sydney's finest musos, percussion maverick Ben Walsh and jazz legend Matt Ottington. Inspired by powerhouse horns and drums from around the globe, funkified hip hop, swing/jazz harmonies and phat breaks, C.S.B serve up originals to get your booty shaking.
Jan 18, 19
COOKIN ON 3 BURNERS
Anchored by the dulcet grooves of their Hammond organ, COOKIN ON 3 BURNERS deliver a distinctively different, rootsy funk, flavoured with the rawest soul, jazz and boogaloo. Made up of members of True Live, Deode and The Bamboos, C3B's live pedigree includes support for Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.
Jan 24, 25, 26
WAITING FOR GUINNESS
A hot-wired blend of jazz and punk, mariachi and folk, Tex-Mex and Westerns, Sydney locals WAITNG FOR GUINNESS have forged a raucous sound entirely their own. Think a fusion of Eastern European lunacy, Tom Waits, Calexico and The Pogues, honed by their satire-infused, anarchic live shows.
Keep the Festival party going well into the night with artists including The Shuffle Club, Doch, Waiting For Guinness, Cookin On 3 Burners, Watussi and The Crusty Suitcase Band.
