Happy Lunar New Year from the Spokane Chinese Association!  What a great way to kick off the year of Tiger with the lunar new year celebration in downtown Spokane.   The event has brought not just the Asian communities, but all of people in Spokane together!   

After 89 years, the lunar new year celebration was brought back to downtown Spokane this year.  I want to thank hundreds of volunteers and performers for their tireless effort of making the Feb 5 lunar new year celebration a huge success. 

Thank you, all community partners for making the lunar new year celebration a reality!  And thank all of you who have come to this joyful event!

We wish you and your family a vigorous and prosperous year of Tiger!

Weiling Zhu, President
Spokane Chinese Association
