During the Chatswood Lunar New Year Festival, visitors can enjoy a life-size lucky draw game and win vouchers redeemable at participating food and beverage businesses within the Willoughby local government area. This activation aims to celebrate Lunar New Year traditions while encouraging festival-goers to explore and support our local dining scene.

How it works

  • Voucher design: Willoughby City Council will produce vouchers featuring your business logo and name.
  • Selection options: choose the number of vouchers you'd like to offer: 30, 50, 100, 200 or other amount.
  • Product or offer: decide on a free gift that represents your business, such as:
    • One free cup of coffee.
    • One free signature dish.
    • A specialty dessert or beverage.
    • Other unique items that showcase your business.
    • (Offers must not include minimum spending requirements)
  • Redemption period: vouchers must be redeemed between February to April 2026.

  • Only selected businesses will be contacted.
