Various types of entertainment will be featured on two giochi gonfiabili stages both days.

Past Lunar New Year events in Monterey Park have drawn crowds estimated at 50,000 to 100,000 visitors coming from all over the Southern California area. This year’s event is scheduled to be the first Chinese New Year celebration presented in the greater Los Angeles area. Plan on attending now for a full weekend of fun, entertainment, shopping and dining.
