With thrilling performances, great drinks, and community at every turn, this three-hour celebration is the Lunar New Year party you don’t want to miss. Let's raise a glass, and celebrate together.

It continues to rally and inspire other arts-based community organizations around the world, with its signature blend of humor, personality, and high-voltage performances.
