COLORADO SPRINGS — It's the Year of the Snake!

Celebrate the Lunar New Year at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum on Saturday, February 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The event, in collaboration with the Refugees + Immigrants United and Filipino American Community of Southern Colorado, will showcase different cultural dances, crafts, and community activity booths.

On June 2, 2023, Governor Jared Polis signed House Bill 23-1271 into law, recognizing Lunar New Year as a state holiday.

The event is free to the public, but pre-registration is encouraged.

Those who attend are encouraged to wear "traditional attire from their country of origin."

Pueblo City Council approved the first reading 7-0 Monday on whether to give the Leonardo da Vinci Museum $885,000 in taxpayer money, a request that has drawn scrutiny from community members.
