Lunar New Year in Los Angeles is a vibrant celebration that reflects the city's rich cultural diversity. From Chinatown to Little Tokyo and beyond, the streets come alive with colorful decorations, lively parades, and traditional performances. 

Celebrate in the serene setting of the Huntington Library's Chinese Garden, the exuberant procession of Chinatown's Golden Dragon Parade, or Lunar New Year at Disneyland with Mulan and Turning Red's Mei. Los Angeles bursts with lion dances, brightly glowing lanterns, and plenty of red envelopes.
