About this event
CultureFest! Lunar New Year is the Penn Museum's long-running family celebration of the holiday, held inside the museum in University City. The day brings Asian traditions to life through storytelling, artmaking, live music and dance performances, and it closes with a traditional Lion Dance finale. The museum notes that Lunar New Year is observed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Tibetan communities, among others, with customs such as feasts, gift exchanges and lantern lighting.
Our take: Stay through the afternoon, because the Lion Dance is saved for the finale.
