Lunar New Year is celebrated by billions of people around the world and, for many, is a meaningful time for family reunions, shared meals, and cultural traditions. AAPI New Jersey is proud to host our fifth annual Lunar New Year celebration, bringing together community members of all ages for a day of learning, culture, and connection. We invite you to join us for Lunar New Year 2026 as we welcome the Year of the Horse with a vibrant, family-friendly celebration. Join us on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM, for a community-led dragon parade through Downtown Montclair. The parade is open to all and free to attend—just join us at S. Park St. & Bloomfield Ave. Following the parade, we will gather for our Lunar New Year Party, featuring lion dance, arts and crafts, cultural and youth performances, and food trucks. Capacity is limited so advance registration is required. Please reserve your spot by signing up for a free ticket. Walk-ins may not be available.
