Join the Mai Wah Society to celebrate Chinese New Year! Described as the shortest, loudest, and coldest parade in Montana, join those interested in keeping this cultural tradition alive. Chinese New Year was celebrated by Chinese Montanans as early as the late-1860s. The 2024 event will include dragon dancing, firecrackers, blessings to local businesses, and refreshments at the Mai Wah Museum. Come one, come all (and dress warm!). For a history of Chinese New Year in Montana, see the Winter 2023 edition of The Big Sky Journal.
