Lunar New Year

While many have already put their New Year’s resolutions into action (or quickly forgotten about them), it’s time to celebrate yet again with the Lunar New Year on Jan. 29. The New Year on the lunisolar calendar has been a time for many Asian cultures to honor ancestors, gather with family and eat lots of great food. River Park Square, in partnership with Spokane United We Stand and the Spokane Chinese Association, welcomes the Year of the Snake with a free Lunar New Year celebration that features dragon and traditional Chinese dancers, martial arts demonstrations, Taiko drummers, a Year of the Snake headband activity hosted by Mobius, and more. So, here’s wishing you a happy Lunar New Year: Gong xi ni fa cai!

Lunar New Year • Sat, Jan. 25 from 1-2:30 pm • Free • River Park Square • 808 W. Main Ave. • spokaneunitedwestand.org
