This Saturday, March 6, we’re going to be joined by @DaintyCakes and @Fishlips_Sushi at the Lantern Festival in commemoration of the longest and most important holiday in the Chinese lunar calendar–and that is of course, Chinese New Year. It is going to be quite an eventful day with stunning lantern displays, music, dancing, and cultural crafts. And naturally to top it off, some excellent street food fare.
The Lantern Festival will take place at the Chinese American Museum. We urge everyone to come and experience one of the biggest cultural holidays during the year. And even better, the admission is FREE!! Rain or shine, it’s happening! Experience being a part of one of the most culturally diverse cities in America.

Our friend Arthur Dong also currently has an exhibit at the Chinese American Museum called Hollywood Chinese: The Arthur Dong Collection that we definitely recommend that you see, especially if you are a cinema buff. It is a collection of memorabilia dating back to the early 1900s of Chinese culture in American cinema. Everything in the exhibit was acquired during the filming of his documentary Hollywod Chinese. The collection is amazing and definitely worth checking out!

We hope that everyone will come out and celebrate Chinese New Year with us this weekend!
Peace, Love and Asian Soul
