Millburn Lunar New Year Festival 2023
The Millburn Short Hills Chinese Association (MSHCA) and the Millburn Institute of Talent (MIOT) hosted a Lunar New Year Festival in downtown Millburn on March 5, 2023, to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit.
It is a long-standing tradition for people to visit temples and street fairs after Lunar New Year’s Day (Jan. 22, 2023) to burn their first incense stick, pray for the prosperity and happiness of their loved ones and bring home special New Years goods that symbolize good luck.
The well-attended festival featured a vibrant street fair with authentic Asian food, live music, and cultural performances. There were also many hands-on activities for both adults and children, including carnival games with free prizes, scavenger hunts with special gifts, bouncing house and rides, dragon dances, and martial arts demonstrations, chess playing, to name just a few.
