The Lunar New Year is the biggest and most celebrated holiday in Chinese tradition. It is customary to give children "lucky money" in much coveted "red envelopes" in exchange for well wishes. Folks of all ages enjoy watching Lucky Lion Dancers trained in martial arts and acrobatics "dancing" to traditional Chinese drums, cymbals, bells and other instruments. As the Lion Dancers near, celebrants will "feed" the Lions lucky red envelopes with money as a symbol of bringing luck and fortune. The more you give, the more you get in return! The video below shows just that from a previous performance at Jasmine Restaurant. Enjoy!

Performance times subject to change.
