San Diego Midnight Lion Dance Show

Event Highlights

This free, all-ages event is packed with festive highlights, including:

  • Traditional lion dance performances that will captivate and inspire.
  • Thrilling martial arts demonstrations showcasing strength and skill.
  • A dazzling firecracker display to light up the night and ward off bad luck.

Plan Your Visit

Dress warmly—cold weather is expected, and the celebrations will run late into the night. Parking is available in the neighborhood, but early arrival is recommended to secure a spot. The firecrackers are loud, so protective earplugs are also advised for attendees.

Chua Ba Thien Hau Temple is located at 4538 University Avenue, San Diego. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at 10 PM PST.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the Lunar New Year with the San Diego community. Hosted by the San Diego Legendary Lion Dance Association, the San Diego Midnight Lion Dance Show 2025 promises a night of vibrant performances, cultural traditions, and festive fun.
