The Atlanta Lunar New Year Celebration Committee has hosted a large-scale celebration for the Lunar New Year for the past 30 years. The celebration includes dragon and lion dances, traditional Taiwanese night market food, and more. In the traditional lion dance, placing a red envelope in the lion's mouth is a way of expressing blessings—symbolizing good luck, prosperity, and happiness in the coming year. This lion dance performance will take place around noon at the Atlanta Lunar New Year Celebration. We recommend arriving early to enjoy the full performance and the pre-show activities.
