Lunar New Year Food Festivals & Night Markets 2027
Lunar New Year's Day is Saturday, February 6, 2027, the start of the Year of the Goat.
Food is at the heart of Lunar New Year. Families gather for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and dishes are chosen for lucky meanings: in Chinese, the word for fish sounds like the word for prosperity. Vietnamese families make bánh chưng, a square sticky rice cake, and Korean families eat tteokguk, a rice cake soup.
The events below include night markets, food festivals and Lunar New Year dinners. Each listing has the date, location and cost.
“Right after the dances came the food: home-cooked dishes from the vendors. My very favorite was lǔ ròu fàn, braised pork belly over rice, with a soy-braised egg (lǔ dàn) on the side. I’d circle back to the stalls two or three times. Nobody leaves those celebrations hungry.”Ben, founder of LunarNewYearEvents.com
