There's a big Chinese Lunar New Year celebration in Montreal this weekend! — The Beat 92.5

The Year of the Dragon is just days away and it's time to join the celebration, Montreal!

From February 9-11, Montreal's Chinatown will open its doors to all Montrealers to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, this holiday is based on the phases of the moon. This year's Lunar New Year is special because it honors the Dragon zodiac sign, which represents power, strength and new possibilities.

The main event will be the Lunar New Year Parade on Saturday, February 10 at 11 a.m. The parade includes dragons and lions dancing to the sound of drums!

Plus, traditional music and dance performances, special menus at restaurants in Chinatown, and more!
