Happy Lunar New Year! January 28th marks the beginning of the year of the rooster, and California Adventure is hosting a huge party to celebrate.
Head over to Paradise Pier to join in on the fun. You can listen to live Chinese and Vietnamese bands, watch acrobats, get your face painted, visit the Lucky Wishing Wall, meet Mulan and Mushu, and enjoy specialty Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese snacks from food stands all along the waterfront.
Throughout the day, Mulan leads a processional down the pier, complete with dancers and of course, her best friend Mushu!
The Lunar New Year 2017 celebration runs until February 5th. For more information about the snack booths, performances, and entertainment, check out the official event page here.
I am Chinese and as a kid, I never saw a princess that even looked like me until Mulan came out. To know that Disneyland now celebrates with this huge event is such an amazing feeling. I still think they have a long way to go with diversity, but this is so important for other little kids like me.
I am so happy to hear this event was such a positive experience for you. I hope the park continues this trend of celebrating different global traditions!
