Description
Kick off your Lunar New Year celebrations with the Seaport Museum and welcome the Year of the Horse at one of the city’s first festivities of the season! Bring the whole family to participate in a joyful day filled with free General Admission to the Seaport Museum, multiple lion dance performances, and hands-on activities to enrich your visit to the Museum.
Feel the excitement as lively lion dancers leap and twirl aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree at 2 pm, then follow the fun as the lions parade down Fulton Street, passing the Museum’s Schermerhorn Row galleries. The celebration continues with another energetic performance at 2:30 pm in front of the Museum’s Bowne & Co., Stationers shop and A.A. Thomson & Co. exhibition galleries on Water Street. Afterward, don’t miss a special family photo opportunity with the lions at 3 pm—a perfect moment to commemorate the day.
From 2:30 to 4:30 pm, kids and adults alike can join a maritime-inspired craft activity and create their own festive Lion Chain to take home. Scroll below for more details on the activity and to reserve your space.
Access to the lion dances is included in your free General Admission ticket to the Seaport Museum. Tickets are free but preregistration is encouraged. Walkups will be accommodated as much as possible.
