It is always difficult to find what's on now in Penang. You always seem to find out about events either the day they're happening or after the event.
At "What's On Penang" we are asking for all event organisors to notify us as far in advance as possible so that we can get their message out there in time for people to plan to attend.
So please if you are having an event in 2011 on Penang please send us the details at http://www.whatsonpenang.com.

Chinese New Year - What's on Penang
The celebrations are not restricted to 1 or 2 days/nights but last for upwards of 2 weeks, basically from the full moon to the next new moon. CNY is made up of several celebrations rolled into one.
Fireworks/crackers play a major part in today's celebrations and there doesn't seem to be a night that the skies are not split open by an amazing visual delight of colour.
The final night is tonight and there is a concert and firework display planned for the Esplanade that should be the culmination of all CNY celebrations.
Straits Quay has set the tone throughout the CNY and will undoubtedly not be left out of the fun tonight.
