Welcome to a brand new event here on The Bell Tree: TBT’s Lunar New Year! Also known as the Spring Festival or Chinese New Year, this event will run February 9th - 24th 2024 and it celebrates the beginning of the new year according to the traditional Chinese calendar. We know that many of our users observe this holiday, so we decided it was about time we provided the opportunity for you to celebrate on here with your TBT friends too! 🎉

2024 is the Year of the Dragon! 🐲

With this in mind, we have structured our Lunar New Year event around the imagery and symbolism of dragons! 🐉

*Please be aware that this special animated collectible is not displayed year-round. While it will always remain in your inventory after purchase, it'll only be activated on specific occasions such as: (Gregorian) New Year, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, Independence Day, and Guy Fawkes Night. The colour of the fireworks will automatically change with the holiday.

**You are still eligible for an animated Shooting Star collectible even if you received one in the TBT Fair 2020.



Bell Increase 🪙


You may have noticed that some of those prizes need to be bought using forum bells. To help with this, we are increasing bell earnings across the forum throughout the event period (February 9th - 24th 2024). This means that every time you make a post on the forum you'll earn a higher amount of bells than you normally would.

I’ll need to look at this when I get the chance today. It looks exciting from first glance!
 
I’ll try my best to participate in all of the events! Thank you as always to the lovely staff for dedicating so much time to these events. ❤️❤️
 
Ahh this is exciting—I love the Plum Blossom so much! ;v; Hopefully I'll be able to participate in everything!!
 
My draconic design is coming along nicely! I referenced the Smile Precure team colors (pink, orange, green, cyan/blue and yellow) in the chest scales, so its a rainbow! I may even add in the trans flag colors as well (I do support that movement from afar)
 
This all sounds fun, can't wait to try them all (Except the IRL activities) when I get the chance.
 
It's really neat to see an event centered around the Lunar New Year! With the dragon theme too and everything 🐉❤️
 
Oh hi night sky scenery!!!!!!
I love the new collectibles so much!!!!
I'll try to take part as much as I can in the event!
 
Ahh this is exciting—I love the Plum Blossom so much! ;v; Hopefully I'll be able to participate in everything!!
I also love that plum blossom! I'm excited for more florals with yellow backgrounds.
The other collectible that has caught my eye is the festival lantern with the night sky spacers. I hope I can participate and get lucky enough to afford 4 dragon tokens! And OMG shooting star... AHHHHHH

Happy year of the Drago! (yes, Drago)
Thanks for another event, staff, and I hope that everyone has a lovely lunar new year!

(I'm trying to clean my house like crazy before it hit my time zone... don't want to lose my luck by sweeping it out on the wrong date, lol...)
 
The banner is so pretty oh my gosh 🤩
Thank you staff for the event, excited to participate in all the activities!!! Plz luck be on my side 🥺
