Celebrating the Year of the Snake

Lunar New Year is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. Each year corresponds with a zodiac sign. Enter the snake. 2025's bold and powerful zodiac sign brings wisdom, transformation, calmness and creativity.

The celebration of the Lunar New Year officially begins on Wednesday, January 29. We start our celebration early with an installation of nearly 250 enormous lanterns over the ice rink to celebrate the Year of the Snake. The beautiful lantern festival installation will stay up through Monday, February 17.

Local author and music teacher, Isabelle Engler, is the PALS Showtime performer on February 6 at 10:30am on Level 3, near the Play Place. Celebrate the New Year with bilingual (English/Mandarin) singable story time featuring family friendly stories.

We also host the HD Lion Dance Foundation, who will perform a colorful dragon dance at 2pm Saturday, February 8 on Level 1 near Sephora. In addition to the exciting dance performance, visitors will enjoy a high-energy drumming performance as a part of the celebration.

In addition to these activities, we've selected red and gold gifts that will bring all the positive energy and usher in happiness, great health, and prosperity in the year ahead.
