The Year of the Rooster arrives on Jan. 28, and from the fiery to the
tranquil, Chinese New Year festivities abound across the region. The
annual Chinese New Year Parade fills the streets of Chinatown (page N2)
with lively lion dances and martial arts performances, while LunarFest’s
cultural exhibitions, games and craft-making lessons are at Oakridge
Centre (page 17) from Jan. 17 to Feb. 5. In Richmond, a huge selection
of festive goodies and beautiful flowers are on offer at Aberdeen Centre’s
(page 17) Chinese New Year Flower & Gift Fair, while the International
Buddhist Temple’s (page 56) restful New Year’s Eve celebrations are a
great option for those seeking something Zen. BY SPENCER VAN VLOTEN
