Chinese New Year 2024 @ 99 Ranch

11:30pm 2/11/2024

The Chinese New Year began on February 10, 2024.  This is the year of the Dragon.

Dragon is powerful, endlessly energetic and full of vitality, goal-oriented yet idealistic and romantic, and a visionary leader. They know exactly who they are and possess the keenest sense of self among the 12 zodiacs of Chinese astrology.

As part of the celebration I took my kid to Saigon 5 inside 99 Ranch’s food court.  Luckily we arrived as Southern Sea Dragon and Lion Dance was setting up in front of 99 Ranch.  They started their dance and the lion ate lettuce and spit it back out to give everyone prosperity.  The dance moved inside through the store and ended up at the food court.  They visited each eatery and were given lucky money in the red envelopes.  Great Dragon and Lion dance!


Normally I visit 99 Ranch for the great selection of fruit, vegetables, and other groceries like mooncakes.  In the future I’ll have to visit for the awesome Dragon and Lion dance.
