February 8, 2025 | 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Mark your calendars for our 9th Annual Lunar New Year Dragon Dance and Celebration, organized by the Portland Chinatown Museum and co-presented with the Oregon Historical Society.

Help us welcome the Year of the Snake on Saturday, February 8, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Local lion dance teams and community performers will join PCM to kick off the 9th Annual Lunar New Year Dragon Dance Parade and Celebration in front of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association on NW Third and Davis Street in Old Town Chinatown.

Led by the Portland Chinatown History Foundation’s 150-foot dragon, the parade will pass through the China Gate, march down SW Third Avenue to SW Jefferson and Park Street, and end at the Oregon Historical Society Park Plaza. Along the way, lions will “pluck the green” for good luck at select locations, and volunteers will pass out traditional red envelopes to participants and onlookers.
