The Eden Center hosted a Lunar New Year celebration, welcoming the year of the dragon with afternoon entertainment Sunday and Monday at its Seven Corners area location. The free events featured a lion and dragon dance, fortune tellers, magicians, face painters, jugglers and musicians.

With restaurants and shops in the center open during both events, guests were able to expand on their cultural experience by stepping inside. While cold weather hit on Sunday, the crowds still came out, and hundreds took part in the Tết celebration.
