Hello, friends! We are genuinely excited that Christmas is just around the corner.

Despite the ongoing Christmas celebration, the Chinese New Year Bazaar will be canceled.
Chinese New Year Bazaar At Chinatown Canceled
As reported by The Straits Times, the annual Chinese New Year Bazaar at Chinatown will not be happening next year. Due to the global pandemic, the organisers of the bazaar are worried about effectively controlling the crowd. Before making this decision, the organisers have been brainstorming multiple ways to keep it going, but were not able to find the ideal solution.
Naturally, many vendors for the Chinese New Year Bazaar are affected by the decision. They are looking forward to the bazaar after a year full of hardships due to the pandemic. Most of the vendors have been selling goods at the bazaar since its establishment in 1989. As most of these vendors are from the older generation and strong competition, they are not capable of selling goods online.
It Has Been Around For More Than Two Decades
Chinese New Year Bazaar has been around for more than two decades, and it is one of the most highly anticipated bazaars in Singapore. In 2020, more than 300 stalls participated in the bazaar, stretching from Pagoda, Smith, Temple, and Terengganu streets. It has welcomed more than 900,000 within the same year.
