The Asia Mall Lunar New Year Celebration in Eden Prairie, MN, is the kind of afternoon where a lion dance can break out next to the food stalls. Co-hosted by the Chinese Community Center and Asia Mall, it’s free and packed with music, dance and martial arts. The 2027 dates haven’t been announced yet; in 2026 it ran Sunday, February 15, from noon to 5 p.m.
What to expect
Asia Mall has hosted a Lunar New Year celebration every year since it opened in 2022. The lineup includes lion dances, martial arts demonstrations, traditional Chinese music and classical Chinese dance.
Performers in 2026 included the Phoenix Chinese Dance Academy, CAAM Chinese Dance Theater and the Chinese Music Gallery. Officials hand out red envelopes for good fortune, and between sets you can grab food or stop by the shadow puppet booth. Fair warning: the lion may be more photogenic than you.
