Chinese New Year Celebration

February 2, 2025Daily PostMore from 2025

Chinese New Year celebration! We headed out to celebrate the Year of the Snake with an awesome lion dance.

The parking lot at Pho Hong was packed with people, drums were pounding and firecrackers were popping. We grabbed a spot up on the balcony with an amazing view as the lions leapt from pole to pole high above the crowd, in every color: purple, white, orange, yellow, red and pink. Then a couple of the lions came right up onto the balcony to dance next to us. Being up close to those big eyes and fluffy manes was so fun!
