And as these archive photos show, the people of South Tyneside have been no strangers to enjoying colourful celebrations of the event in years gone by.
We have dragon dancing at West Boldon Primary in 2009 and tasty treats at Hebburn Comprehensive in 2007. There were colourful fans at St Wilfrid’s RC School in 2016 and lanterns at Ashfield Nursery in 2006.
But don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at these photos from the Gazette archives and enjoy the memories.
