Ring in the Lunar New Year in the heart of L.A.’s Chinese community at this annual two-day Monterey Park festival. This street fair takes over five blocks of downtown Monterey Park with folk art, delectable bites and a carnival zone. The action typically kicks off Saturday morning with traditional New Year dragon and lion dancers. Past fests have brought in over 100,000 people over, so plan ahead; the city suggests utilizing the free parking and shuttles at Mark Keppel High School (501 E Hellman Ave), Barnes Park (350 S McPherrin Ave), Ynez Elementary School (120 S Ynez Ave) and Repetto Elementary School (650 Grandridge Ave).
