San Diego Chinese New Year Fair February 12, 2011
San Diego, California 92101
Celebrate the Year of the Rabbit at the FREE Chinese New Year Food and Culture Fair in the heart of San Diego’s Asian Pacific Historic District!
On Feb. 12 and 13, lion and dragon dancers, martial artists, acrobats and musicians will perform, and food and craft vendors will fill the streets at the intersection of Third Ave. and J St. Inside the museum, we’ll have a delightful array of tea cozies and traditional New Year prints on display as well as a variety of Asian goods for sale.
The Year of the Rabbit begins on February 3, 2011, and the festival traditionally lasts until the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Jie 元宵節, on the first full moon of the year, Feb. 17. People born in rabbit years (those turning 12, 24, 36, or other multiples of twelve this year) are said to be serene, sensitive, compassionate, and creative. They get along well with others, and their homes are tidy and organized. But no matter what animal of the zodiac you are, there will be plenty of fun for the whole family as we celebrate the most exciting Chinese holiday of the year!
