Building on the success of DCNYF (Dublin Chinese New Year Festival) in the past four years, we are delighted to launch our 5th festival celebrating the year of the Dragon, in the 4710th year of the Chinese calendar. Fifth in the Twelve Year Cycle and the most regal of the signs, the Dragon is self-assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered. Dragons are the free spirits of the Chinese Zodiac and are born monarchs.
