Month of February
 Chinese New Year-Nationwide
Traditional celebrations are staged every Chinese New Year to pay tribute the mythical Golden Dragon - the guardian spirit that has watched over Yawarat for centuries,
and to whom residents of the community believe they owe their good fortune, wealth and prosperity. The Golden Dragon is thus accorded an exalted status in ritual, as
well as in everyday life.
Red is considered to be an auspicious colour-a symbol of happiness and good luck
so the appropriate dress code for the Chinese New Year celebrations is red.
