Dublin Lunar New Year Celebration Postponed

Due to coronavirus concerns, a ceremony scheduled for Saturday will be replaced by a different event in the spring.

DUBLIN, CA — A Lunar New Year celebration scheduled for Saturday at Dublin High School has been postponed to an unknown date due to coronavirus concerns.

“Organizers felt it would not be prudent, given the rapid spread of the coronavirus and the Omicron variant during the past few weeks,” a city spokesperson told Patch.

The event was co-organized by the city and the Tri-Valley chapter of the Asian and Pacific Americans for Public Affairs. It was scheduled to feature traditional dances, vocal ensembles, comedy, lion dance, kung fu performances, and more.
