The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Welcome the Year of the Dragon at Portland's most iconic Lunar New Year celebration experience — Lantern Viewing Evenings at Lan Su. Witness the garden aglow with hanging red lanterns, illuminating sweeping rooflines while Lake Zither reflects the lights of large-scale floating lantern sculptures.

Cymbals, gongs, and action. Prepare for an extraordinary celebration as we joyously welcome the Year of the Dragon with a spirited and lively ambiance. Feel the energy pulsating through the garden with the dynamic drumbeats of the Portland Lee’s Association Dragon and Lion Dance Team, leading an illuminated dragon procession.

  • Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere with a live and traditional Chinese dragon dance procession.
  • Experience the garden adorned with vibrant lantern sculpture displays, including four never-before-seen installations of the Four Gentlemen Floral Lanterns from China.
  • Engage in interactive cultural activities that promise to add an extra layer of excitement and liveliness to the celebration.

The Dragon + Lantern Viewing Evenings guarantee a festive and lively experience. While there won't be table-side service at the teahouse during these events, you are invited to join a night filled with cultural vibrancy, entertainment, and the electrifying spirit of the Year of the Dragon.
