🐴 Year of the Fire Horse: 5 Things to Do This Weekend

School's out, the Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the city is going all in on Lunar New Year this weekend. We've got three different ways to celebrate — from the big parade in Chinatown to a scavenger hunt at IKEA (yes, IKEA). Plus a flashlight tour after dark and a crafty detour that has nothing to do with dragons but everything to do with wax seals.

Big energy

Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade

Sunday · 11 AM

Chinatown · Chinatown · · All ages

🟡Arrive early for a good spot, restaurants will be packed so pack snacks

Dragon and lion dances weaving through the streets, firecrackers, drums, the whole neighborhood out celebrating. This is the real deal — not a ticketed event, just the community doing what it does every year. Kids can get up close to the lions if you stake out a spot early. Starts at 11th and Arch. Pro-tip: Head there early to eat dim sum before the parade kicks off.
