Celebrate the Year of the Tiger this Weekend at the Huntington in San Marino

In Los Angeles County, one of the best places to celebrate the Lunar New Year is at the  Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. The Year of the Tiger family-friendly events on February 5-6 (Saturday and Sunday) will feature lion dancers, a mask-changing artist, martial arts demonstrations, Chinese music, art and craft demonstrations. The events are free with admission.

The festivities will take place in the Chinese Garden and other performance spaces. Program highlights on Feb. 5 will include performances of scenes from The Peony Pavilion by Chinese Kwun Opera Society (at 11–11:20 a.m., 1–1:20 p.m.) in the Chinese Garden and Lion Dancers featuring Northern Shaolim Kung Fu (12:30–12:50 p.m., 3:30–3:50 p.m.) on the East Lawn near the Huntington Art Gallery.
