Join the small businesses in Chinatown as we prepare for the Year of the Rabbit on the weekend of January 7th and 8th, 2023. This is the ultimate event to get rid of the old and celebrate the new!
On January 7th, we will be changing the theme of the zodiac wall from "strong" to "wealth". The zodiac wall has been a hot Instagram spot in Chinatown every year during the Chinese New Year Parade. Make sure to stop by anytime between 2-8pm to paste a red envelope containing your wish inside with the new wall.
On January 8th, we will have an opening ceremony for the new wall at noon. After the ceremony, we will gather between 2-4pm at China Live with fortune tellers, cultural music, and tea ceremony.
