25th Annual Lunar New Year Celebration

Downtown Oakland

A quarter-century of tradition comes alive at OMCA's milestone Lunar New Year celebration. Lion dances, Korean drumming, Pilipino kulintang music, and Vietnamese dragon dances fill the Garden Stage while families craft horse puppets, decorate red envelopes, and dance K-pop together. Local AAPI chefs serve up festival bites alongside storytime with a Disney animator and meditative beats by Oakland's own seiji oda.
