Saturday, February 4, 2023

San Gabriel Mission District
January 22, 2023 marks the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit on lunar calendar. As in keeping with the character traits of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Rabbit symbolizes peace, patience and many blessings.
We are ready to celebrate the festivity to release the pent-up emotions and enjoy this celestial offering of a holiday for an auspicious beginning.
This is KAZN’s first partnership with the city of San Gabriel, but not the radio station’s first community outreach effort. With years of large scale event-production experience, combined with the cooperation of the city, attendees can look forward to enjoying a successful multicultural festival.

10:30 a.m. - Kids Lion Dance
10:40 a.m. - Dragon Dance
Noon to 3 p.m. - Hourly guided historical walking tours (tour begins at the Grapevine, located at the corner of Mission Dr & Santa Anita street)

- Creation of "A Rainbow of Peaceful Cranes" community art piece: During the Lunar New Year event, the City of San Gabriel invites attendees to create a joint community art piece – A Rainbow of Peace Cranes - in recognition of the Monterey Park tragedy and its impact on cities in the San Gabriel Valley. Located at the City of San Gabriel’s booth next to the Mission Playhouse fountain, attendees can write down their thoughts, reflections and messages on origami paper; carefully fold them into beautiful cranes; and help fill a giant shadow box full of colorful well-wishing cranes. Once completed and filled with attendees’ messages of love and hope, the community art piece will be delivered to the City of Monterey Park.
Parking will be available at the following lots:
📍San Gabriel Valley Medical Plaza (207 S. Santa Anita St)
📍Park & Ride (257 S. Mission Dr)
