We’ve put together a selection of fun San Diego Lunar New Year events worth attending for those who would like to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.

Lunar New Year (or Chinese New Year if you are of Chinese heritage) is a holiday recognized in China, Vietnam, Korea, Mongolia, Singapore, and Tibet and by many emigrants from all over the world from these Southeast Asian countries.

The date is based on the lunisolar calendar, which is February 10, 2024, and those born in this zodiac year are said to be smart, naturally lucky, and confident.

The holiday is incredibly important in our home as my daughter is proud to have been born in Hong Kong during the Year of the Golden Pig. It is by far the most important celebration there, lasting 15 days, though typically only three of those days are public holidays. During that time, the whole family often gathers together to celebrate the lunar new year with events like traditional performances and other fun activities.

Without further ado, here is a list of Lunar New Year San Diego events — get ready to discover fun activities you won’t want to miss.
