Richardson’s annual Lunar New Year Festival was held last weekend amidst sunny, spring-like weather in the Richardson CORE District’s Chinatown neighborhood. Co-sponsored by the City and the Dallas Chinese Community Center, the event celebrated the Year of the Snake and included many cultural experiences, from music and dance performances to arts and athletic demonstrations to children’s games and crafts. Many food vendors and food trucks offered a variety of Asian dishes and nearby Chinatown restaurants were open as well.
The Mayor and City Council closed out the festival by introducing the highlight of the day’s events, the much-anticipated Lion and Dragon Dances presented by JL Sports Association.
