Holidays in Australia are noisy and fun events accompanied by carnivals, fairs, fireworks (the country even has such a position as the Minister of Fire and Fireworks!).

Major holidays in Australia

Australia Day: On January 26, you can attend parades and regattas, admire grandiose fireworks, and in the city of Perth – light shows. On this day, Australians and visitors to the country travel to Sydney to attend a music festival, or to Adelaide to attend a cricket match.
New Year: Australians celebrate January 1 on a special scale in the capitals of the states – entertainment events take place right under the open sky. So, in the harbor of Sydney at midnight, the world’s largest fireworks display is launched (the light shows are given enchanting names, such as “Diamond Night in the Emerald City”). The best way to see this spectacle is to go up to the observation deck of the Sydney Tower. Those who wish to have fun at dance themed parties flock to Melbourne on New Year’s Eve, to attend live music concerts in Brisbane. And having arrived in one of the Australian states – Victoria or Tasmania, you can visit the music festival The Falls Festival, which starts on this very day.
Chinese New Year: For 15 days, festivals and festive events take place in Australia, including the Dragon Dance. During this period, it is customary to walk in red dresses, launch firecrackers, and give “lucky coins” to children. And the festivities end with the Lantern Festival – in the temples, numerous lanterns act as decorations, with which everyone rushes to the evening parade.
Easter: In honor of the holiday, fairs are held in large cities, for example, in Sydney there is a fair called the Royal Easter Show. On the holiday, it is customary to exchange chocolate or sugar eggs.
