GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Asian-Pacific Festival (#GRAPF) Team and Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. are proud to present the Lunar New Year Festival as part of the 2020 World of Winter Festival!
It's a celebration of the New Year, based on the lunar calendar. The festival showcases a variety of cultures from all over Asia. This year is the Year of the Rat -- 2020 also marks the beginning of another 12-year cycle of the Zodiac.

Attendees can also win prizes given away throughout the night, including Celebration Cinema Gift Cards and Michigan International Auto Show tickets.
