Celebrate the Year of the Snake

In Chinese mythology, the snake is revered as a symbol of wisdom and transformation. Known as the “little dragon,” it represents intuition, introspection, and refinement. Those born under this zodiac sign are often seen as graceful, charming, and cool under pressure.

The Year of the Snake is the perfect time to reflect, embrace growth, and tap into your inner strength.

A San Diego Tradition Since 1983

Since its start in 1983, the San Diego Chinese New Year Fair has grown into one of the city’s most popular and anticipated events.

The festival not only highlights the beauty of Chinese culture but also brings people of all backgrounds together to share in the joy of the New Year. From traditional performances to modern twists, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
