About the Celebration Downtown

• The performance in Peace Park will be about 15-20 minutes showing off more of what the lions can do and the skill/acrobatics involved in lion dancing.
• Blessings will be about 5minutes at each location. We will be attempting to go inside a few select businesses who have requested it, but that depends on if the lion fits.
• We should be easy to find and follow on the 300, 400, and 500 blocks of State St. Look for instruments and bright colors!
• What is Lunar New Year? It’s the beginning of the calendar year for cultures that follow the lunar cycle (typically East and South East Asia). The first day of the new year is the first day of the new moon.
• Celebrations for New Years are typically a few weeks long.
