## Why go

This one is a neighborhood celebration rather than a stage show, out on the Lincoln District's business strip. Come hungry.

## What happens

Lion dancers work their way along South 38th Street, with food vendors and local businesses out on the street. Tacoma Art Museum has joined in past years with a table and art-making activities.

## Good to know

The 2026 festival ran from 11am to 3pm, centered at 3801 S. Yakima Ave. The listings we found didn't give a price or name an organizer.

**Next year:** it follows the lunar calendar, so the date moves. Look for it on a weekend in late January or February.
