First, The Museum of Chinese in America has a full calendar of events including a New Year Flower Market; artist demonstrations in calligraphy, knotting, and paper folding, among other traditional arts; and walking tours of Chinatown that highlight how the neighborhood prepares itself for the new year.
Of course it wouldn't be the New Year without firecrackers, so don't miss the the Firecracker Ceremony, which features 500,000 one-inch firecrackers exploding in just ten minutes.
