This Saturday afternoon, the International District will be alive with exciting music, colorful costumes, and delicious food--all part of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration. It will be a unique cultural experience for family and friends to enjoy the entertainment of lion and dragon dances, taiko drumming, martial arts demonstrations, magic show, and a fun parade contest for children. Restaurants in the Chinatown area are also offering tasty $2 treats; those who visit three or more restaurants will be entered into a drawing for a prize . Since this also marks the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, there will also be a live rabbit competition for bunny owners. The bulk of the day's festivities will take place in Hing Hay Park, and the surrounding neighborhood. more ›
