Our STORY
The Frisco Lunar New Year Festival began with community members who desired to celebrate the growing East Asian population in Frisco. What started as a small gathering in 2021 outside City Hall has now grown to over 4,000+ attendees of all ages. We are proud to give our community a taste of Asian culture through this special event every year!
