This is the FINAL event and last time the 5 original Chinese gold rush families are hosting Lunar New Year otherwise known as Chinese New Year
Witnessing the Chinese Dragon for the first time is a culturally prideful experience for all ages. The Chinese Dragon is not similar to Lion Dance but is one of the oldest and rarest traditions of Red Bluff’s Historic Chinatown, last seen for July 4th in 1908!
