Description

Chinatown’s annual Lunar New Year celebration features stunning visuals, tantalizing treats and impressive performances, capped off by the always fabulous lion dance. In 2026, the festivities usher in the Year of the Red Horse. The big parade—whose route in Manhattan’s Chinatown begins on Mott Street at Hester and moves down, heading east on East Broadway and then up Forsyth to Grand Street—takes place on March 1. A couple of weeks earlier, the Firecracker Ceremony and Cultural Festival is held in Sara D. Roosevelt Park (February 17).
