Don your red attire and celebrate the Lunar New Year in a new way this year in San Francisco! 2022 is a year of the Tiger, starting from February 1st, 2022, and ending on January 21st, 2023. The Tiger is known as the king of all beasts in China. The zodiac sign Tiger is a symbol of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness.

Lunar Sweets from Socola. The Socola Chocolatier team is back in the shop and working on some cool flavors for the upcoming Lunar New Year. The Year of the Tiger officially kicks off on February 1st. To celebrate the Lunar New Year, snag Socola’s Year of the Tiger Box. This year’s box features the following flavors: Preserved Kumquat, Lapsang Suchong (featuring tea from our friend, Dartealing Lounge), Tamarind Sesame, Jujube Caramel, Candied Ginger Peanut, and Pandan Coconut. 

Dip those Dumplings. Dumplings, a staple of Chinese cuisine, are associated with the wealthiness: according to tradition, the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make in the New Year. Yank Sing has your dim sum and dumplings waiting. “Dumplings here are the true highlight, from plump and fragrant pork xiao long bao, to paper-thin har gao concealing chunks of fresh, sweet shrimp.” – Michelin

Take in the Tigers. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco has brought back the public art project, Tiger on Parade, to its list of festivities this Lunar New Year. Six life-sized Tigers will be publicly displayed around San Francisco, from January 17 – February 19, to help ring in the new year. The Tiger statues spotlight local artists as well as reflect upon the culture, people, and traditions surrounding Chinese New Year.

Spy the Parade. The Chinese New Year Parade will be held on February 19, 2022. Tickets are now available for purchase.
