The streets are alive this month! We’re doubling down on the magic with a month-long mashup of Valentine’s vibes and Lunar New Year (Feb 17) energy. From hidden shop gems and romantic dates to the thunder of lion dances and firecrackers, Chinatown is the place to be.

Don't miss the red envelopes, the roses, or the rhythm. See you in the neighborhood!

South Street Seaport Museum (12 Fulton Street, Manhattan)

FREE Admission (registration encouraged)

Kick off the Lunar New Year season early with us at the South Street Seaport Museum! Chinatown Partnership is honored to co-sponsor this event together with South Street Seaport Museum and LiveOnNY to bring you a FREE day of joy, culture, and creativity—and you’re invited!

This celebration isn’t just about welcoming the Year of the Horse—it’s about building bridges between the Seaport and Chinatown. We want visitors to leave not only with a smile, but also with a sense of connection to one of NYC’s most vibrant neighborhoods and its rich Lunar New Year traditions. We want to share this cultural celebration with the community in a way that’s authentic, hands-on, and deeply rooted in the community.
