Lunar New Year Festival 2010-2025

The San Diego Lunar New Year Festival has grown remarkably over the past 15 years—from a modest community gathering into one of the city’s most vibrant cultural celebrations. Held annually in the heart of City Heights, the festival brings together thousands to honor Asian traditions with lion dances, live performances, food vendors, and family-friendly activities. What began as a small, grassroots effort has become a proud showcase of Vietnamese heritage and the rich diversity of San Diego’s immigrant communities.
