I love to explore different cultures, traditions, art & especially food (yes, I love all types of food). I believe that exposing my children to different cultural events and activities opens new doors and inspires new interests. This weekend’s Lunar New Year Celebrations provides some great learning opportunities and some great food options as well.
In addition to the my previous post on the FREE Lunar New Year Celebration at Pavilion Park in Irvine on Saturday, here are a few other great Lunar New Year Celebrations taking place this weekend.
