Flower Market Fair

Saturday, January 25 - $100

The Chinese New Year Flower Market Fair takes place on the weekend prior to Chinese New Year. This vibrant event is the perfect opportunity to buy fresh flowers, fruits, candies, and new household items to welcome the lunar new year. Enjoy captivating performances by traditional Chinese magicians, acrobats, folk dancers, and opera artists while savoring the delightful scents of spring. With over 120 booths and stalls, it’s a true paradise for shoppers. What Do Flowers and Plants Represent? Flowers and plants symbolize growth, and a plant that blooms on New Year’s Day heralds a year of prosperity. The Chinese believe that flowers are essential for producing fruits that bear seeds for future generations. Therefore, having flowers and floral decorations in the home at the start of the new year is considered very important. Join us for a day in San Francisco and take some time to enjoy lunch at your leisure. Sign up today to secure your spot!
