Year Of The Horse Conservatory Display At MGM National Harbor

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — Residents can celebrate the Lunar New Year at MGM National Harbor with month-long holiday festivities, a Year of the Horse Conservatory display, culinary specialties and more.

“Our Lunar New Year Conservatory display brings the Year of the Horse to life through powerful symbolism, from the galloping bronze horses representing momentum and ambition, to the cascading gold coins and red lanterns that signify prosperity, luck, and renewal. Every detail was designed to immerse guests in a celebration of progress and possibility as we welcome the new year," Richard Chwang, director of international marketing at MGM National Harbor, told Patch.

The Conservatory's Lunar New Year display includes eight galloping horses stretching across 32 feet, a golden bamboo forest reaching 25 feet in height, a money tree adorned with oversized gold I-Ching coins and iglots, 8-foot-tall lanterns accented with firecrackers, koi fish and a jade rock fountain, and a 15-foot-tall illuminated red lantern.

The new Lunar Lounge by Hennessy debuts at The District as a limited time cocktail popup resembling a Chinese tea house. There will be a special concert Feb. 28 featuring Vietnamese music and performances by Lam Trường, Đan Trường, Quang Lê, Mai Thiên Vân, Như Loan, Vy Oanh, Trịnh Lam, Leon Vũ and Jessica Shum (岑敏芝), accompanied by the live sounds of the Tutti Band.
