The Edmonton Chinatown Business Improvement Area (BIA), in partnership with the Royal Alberta Museum, invites the community to celebrate Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Horse on Sunday, February 22nd, 2026.

First, the outdoor celebration begins at 10:30 a.m. in front of Lucky Supermarket (also known as Lucky 97). This will feature a Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, and firecrackers. 

Then, join us from noon to 3:30 p.m. indoors at the Royal Alberta Museum. This free, family-friendly event will feature Lion Dance and Cree dance performances in the main lobby, along with cultural performances and activities that highlight the traditions and symbolism of the Year of the Horse while celebrating the rich heritage of Edmonton’s Chinatown.
