 Ring in the Chinese Year of the Snake—and learn more about how the Lunar New Year is celebrated throughout Asia—at this annual, daylong extravaganza. Bring the whole family and celebrate the New Year with a wide variety of music and dance performances, martial and healing arts demonstrations, Feng Shui and folk tale presentations, children's activities, storytelling, and arts and crafts. The day ends with a drum roll, a roar, and the popular Grand Finale Lion Parade. Free with Museum admission. For more information, call 215.898.2680.
