Lunar New Year 2016 Celebrating the Year of the Monkey

With the weather feeling more akin to summer than winter, Saturday afternoon was a picture-perfect day for the third annual Lunar New Year celebration at Beacon Park of Great Park Neighborhoods. Doubling the attendance from last years event, more than 2,500 people danced to live music, used their imagination with arts and crafts, and supported local artisan fairs at the night market. The pounding drums of joy were accompanied by joyful cheers and laughter by adults and children alike all enjoying the one-of-a-kind traditional lion dance in the park.
