From: Lunar New Year FestivalGet ready for the 4th annual Celebrate Lunar festival, exploding into a two-day celebration for the very first time! Join over 7,000 friends and neighbors on January 18 and 19, 2025, at Luminary Green Park in Downtown Orlando. Celebrate Lunar is a fusion of Asia’s rich traditions and modern flair. On day one, experience the diverse cultures of Asia through authentic cuisine with some of the top chefs in Orlando-from Chinese and Korean to Vietnamese, Filipino, Japanese, Thai, Laos, and more.

Then, get ready to turn up the energy on day two with a heart-pounding hip hop dance battle! Witness amazing talent and electrifying moves as dancers compete for the top spot. This year, we’re excited to partner with local high school’s Asian American clubs and giving back to them as well so they can continue thriving, showcasing their talents and fostering leadership through this exciting competition and other cultural showcases. Don’t miss this special celebration of the Year of the Snake-bringing joy, connection, and cultural pride to Central Florida!
