February 17, 2026 Fujian Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast worldwide, including Southeast Television, Cross-Strait

As the Chinese New Year increasingly evolves from a "Chinese festival" into a global celebration, the Spring Festival Gala has taken on a new mission: to allow the world to share in the joy and festivity of the season, and to experience the richness and vibrancy of Chinese culture.

From tulips to cherry blossoms, these eight spring festivals highlight the most vibrant blooms of the season and make perfect travel inspiration.

Under the theme of "Winds Across the Miles, Spring Light We Share", the 2026 Fujian Spring Festival Gala dazzled audiences on Tuesday. For the first time, the gala linked China's Fujian province, the Taiwan region and Malacca in Malaysia in a tri-location broadcast.

People gathered on rooftops to enjoy flying kites for the first time in years, celebrating the spring festival of Basant. The activity had been banned due to injuries and deaths during past celebrations.

Springtime Cinema is back with a special offer — tickets are just €5 per screening for all films at participating theaters across France. Find out the dates and all the practical details for this event celebrating the world of film.
