The Lunar New Year is here and what better way to celebrate the year of the dragon by joining in on the festivities happening across Toronto.
In Chinese culture, the dragon represents power, luck and success which means 2024 is expected to bring new opportunities and challenges. So, bring out those red envelopes, wear your best attire and prepare to eat a feast because the Chinese new year is all about family togetherness and embracing good luck.
To usher in the Chinese new year, here are five events you can attend in the GTA.
