“The celebration of Lunar New Year with our Asian Pacific Islander communities is a special time for all of us, especially here in San Francisco with our long history of honoring our cultural diversity. We are home to the best Lunar New Year festivities in the country, highlighted by our world famous Chinese New Year Parade, which draws people from all over to celebrate in our very own Chinatown. As we kick off the Year of the Boar, I am especially grateful that Senate Bill 892 has officially expanded the traditions of Lunar New Year to the entire State of California for the first time, strengthening our cultural foundation. I am proud to join everyone in embracing and celebrating our family, friends and community. Have a wonderful, safe and happy Lunar New Year! Gung Hay Fat Choy!”
