Looking Back on Lunar New Year 2024 in Chinatown
The Year of the Dragon is here, and Welcome to Chinatown’s Lunar New Year festivities have officially come to a close! We celebrated LNY all February long with our friends and neighbors, it was a beautiful (and fiery!) month full of delicious food, vibrant events and so many meaningful connections.
Inspired by the dragon (a year that brings innovation, creativity, and leadership) we wanted to uplift and amplify from within the community. Guided by the passion and expertise of our partners, our programming combined creativity and innovation to honor tradition and history.
And y’all BROUGHT the energy!
