About PNA’s Annual Lunar New Year Celebration

Join us for the PNA’s 2026 Lunar New Year celebration to celebrate the beginning of year of the Horse! Enjoy free arts and crafts, paper lantern decorating ($5), LQ Lion Dancers, a bake sale, food trucks, and a marketplace representing local, Asian, small businesses and makers.

In order to make activities happening in both buildings accessible to all, we will be operating a shuttle van between the buildings throughout the event.
