Lincoln Center Presents Lunar New Year Celebration

Bring the whole family and celebrate the Year of the Horse at Lincoln Center’s Lunar New Year celebration! For the third year running, experience the exhilarating energy of the Tai Look Lion Dance Company, a Chinatown favorite. Immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of traditional Korean music with a special performance by Insun Park & Generals; and enjoy an exuberant family-friendly storytime session. You’re also invited to join in on the fun by participating in hands-on arts and crafts and, of course, savor delicious food as we ring in the New Year with joy and tradition!
