QV Melbourne is thrilled to welcome The Year of the Ox with Lunar New Year celebrations including a 50m2 interactive mural from Chinese-Australian artist Mark Chu, a new exhibition of his work at No Vacancy gallery, custom made Oxen lanterns, themed food and drink, $10,000 in prizes and more from 12 February

Lunar New Year (LNY), celebrated by 1.5 billion people in 2020, provides the chance for a fresh start, setting the tone for the year ahead. The celebrations begin when the first new moon in the lunar calendar emerges on 12 February 2021.

QV Melbourne is at the heart of the city’s festivities, honouring traditions of generosity and celebrating The Year of the Ox. Melbourne born painter Mark Chu has his work exhibited everywhere from Shanghai to Amsterdam to NYC and has appeared in the New York Times.

One of the most popular ways to celebrate LNY is via QV Melbourne’s acclaimed, diverse range of Asian restaurants and eateries. Eat Your Way Through Asia and explore a travelling feast along Artemis Lane, from Japanese ramen sensation Ippudo, to Seorae Galmaegi Korean BBQ and giant street food market style vendor Thai Town, finishing with Taiwanese dessert parlour Meet Fresh. Visitors are also invited to subscribe at qv.com.au by 8 February for a chance to win one of 100 FREE Chinese New Year ice cream desserts from Aqua S. Come to think of it, you might want to make a few trips.

Cocktail maestros at Father’s Office have imagined up Chinese New Year themed drinks, featuring two of the culture’s most loved fruits: lychees and cherries. The China Blue (which includes lychees + lychee liqueur) and Orange Oasis (featuring Cherry Brandy, topped with a maraschino cherry) cocktails are just $16 each and will be available from 12-19 February in the pop-up QV Square Garden bar (open every day, weather permitting), as well as inside their main venue on Lt Lonsdale St.

Expanding on the theme of generosity, QV will host two games with a giant array of prizes. Spin/Win campaign will run from 12-26 February. Customers simply need to spend $20 or more at participating stores to receive a game card for the chance to win a share in over $10,000 in prizes. Snap to Win will run from 12 February – 5 March. Snap a photo of the Lunar New Year mural and tag @QVMelbourne #QVLunarNewYear on Instagram for your chance to win a $250 QV shopping spree. Terms and conditions apply. Visit qv.com.au for all the details.

Worlds apart from other retail precincts in Melbourne, QV represents the quintessential Melbourne lifestyle. Intimate laneways in the urban precinct give visitors the freedom to wander and discover the eclectic mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants at their own pace. QV is home to 120 retail stores including premium fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, as well as major retailers such as Big W, Woolworths, Officeworks, Harvey Norman and Dan Murphy’s.
