Celebrate Chinese New Year

Lunar New Year celebrations are an ancient tradition in China. Local kids can get a taste of what one is like at the Lunar New Year Celebration at the Children’s Museum of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa. The event will feature traditional Chinese dancers who will lead children in Lion and Dragon dances. There will also be instruction in calligraphy, paper cutting, and the Chinese zodiac. And the Museum of Sonoma County will host a storytelling booth, which will include a history of Santa Rosa’s Chinatown. The celebration will be held on January 28, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., and is free with admission ($16 for adults and kids or free for infants 11 months and younger; discounts for EBT and Medi-Cal card holders).
