If you are looking to ring in the Year of the Fire Horse in style, here are some ideas for special Lunar New Year (“LNY”) dinners, pop-ups, special menus, and celebrations going on in and around Denver.
This year the start of the Lunar New Year is Tuesday, February 17 and traditionally celebrations last for two weeks. LNY is celebrated in many different Asian communities around the world, so the festivities span many different cuisines and cultures.
In 2023, thanks to the efforts of community leaders and activists, Lunar New Year became an official Colorado state holiday, celebrated each year on the first Friday of February.
The majority of the places on this list are local Asian or AANHPI-owned or led businesses and organizations.
So for those who celebrate, put on your best red clothing items, stuff those little envelopes full of money for the youngsters, and let’s get the party started!
If you have an event you would like included on this list, fill out this form.
