    Villa Park Lunar New Year Celebration

    Villa Park Lunar New Year Celebration

    I’m going to be honest and say that the Villa Park Lunar New Year Celebration was a relatively boring event. I was actually quite close to leaving early on in the festival but decided to stay around. I realize that it was a free event, but it doesn’t change the fact that it was a pretty boring event.

    If there’s anyone that likes free things, it’s got to be me.

    As a freebie lover, I attended the San Gabriel Lunar New Year Festival, a free event held at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse.

    Parking wasn’t an issue as I was able to park on the street for free. Their event parking lot was also for free but already full by the time I had gotten there and I actually had gotten there before the start time of the festival. Meh. So, even though I had arrived early, by the time I decided on a parking spot, the festival had already begun.
