Lunar New Year Family Fair

Saturday, January, 31, 2026. Did you know the Fire Horse cycle occurs only once every 60 years? Celebrate the Year of the Horse at Wing Luke Museum’s annual Lunar New Year Family Fair! Learn about Lunar New Year celebrations and join us for a full afternoon of family-friendly activities.

Historically, the Lunar New Year honors our ancestors, removes bad energy, and welcomes good fortune. As a major cultural anchor for a wide array of the region’s Asian American communities, Seattle’s Chinatown-International District is an ideal setting for this celebration of unity and cultural tradition.
