PORT OF LOS ANGELES TO HOST 12TH ANNUAL LUNAR NEW YEAR FESTIVAL FEB 21
Welcoming in the ‘Year of the Fire Horse’ with Live Entertainment, Petting Zoo, Firecracker Display and Inaugural Drone Show
Feb. 12, 2026 — The Port of Los Angeles will host its 12th Annual Lunar New Year Festival, from 3-7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21, at CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles on the LA Waterfront in San Pedro. The free, family-friendly event will feature an array of artistic performances and cultural demonstrations including – weather permitting – an inaugural drone show and firecracker finale.
“This festival provides the Port an opportunity to honor the people and cultures of Asia as well as our friends and colleagues around the world,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “We’re pleased to play a part in this joyful time of tradition, family and renewal.”
The Lunar New Year in 2026 begins the “Year of the Fire Horse,” a symbol of adventure, vitality, and momentum. The Chinese zodiac follows a 12-year cycle of rotating animals and elements with this year characterized by bold transformation as the Year of the Horse aligns with the element of fire.
Children and adults alike will enjoy getting up close to the animals of the Chinese zodiac including roosters, goats, pigs and a pony in the petting zoo, while Asian-style culinary delights will be available for purchase in the CRAFTED courtyard.
CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles, located at 112 East 22nd Street in San Pedro, is a handmade shopping experience featuring the work of L.A.’s best artisans and craftspeople, located inside a restored 1940s-era warehouse. Limited free parking spaces are available across the street from the venue in the Cabrillo Marina parking lot with additional free parking at 22nd and Signal streets.
