Celebrate Lunar New Year weekend with live Chinese cultural performances, tastings, family-friendly workshops, arts and crafts and more!


On Saturday, February 21, the weekend festivities begin with a joyful opening celebration. Fire Horse–themed arts and family-friendly workshops, lantern viewing throughout the Garden, Lunar New Year tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and Nian Gao (Chinese steamed cake symbolizing prosperity and growth) demonstrations and tastings will take place across the Garden —perfect for families to explore at their own pace and soak in the festive atmosphere.

On Sunday, the celebration reaches its full swing. Fire Horse–themed arts and crafts and lantern viewing continue throughout the Garden, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of lion dance performances, guzheng and dance performances, dumpling (symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and family unity) and Nian Gao demonstrations and tastings, Fire Horse art candy, sugar candy art, live caricature drawing, fortune telling, and a variety of food vendors. From daytime into early evening, the entire Garden will be immersed in a lively and joyful Lunar New Year celebration.
