The fifth annual Rancho Cucamonga Lunar Festival will return early in the new year.
The event will bring cultural performances, artisan shopping, food vendors, and family activities to the Rancho Cucamonga Sports Center. Organized by the California Culture Festival in partnership with Eastern Harmony Mental Health and the City of Rancho Cucamonga, the two-day celebration will welcome visitors of all age groups.
A new attraction for 2027 is the Awakening Dragon. This interactive community art display invites attendees to write their hopes and wishes for the upcoming year on individual dragon scales. The display will be illuminated during an evening ceremony celebrating new beginnings and hope.
The festival will also feature live cultural entertainment and an opening celebration. Previous editions have included traditional lion dancing, Taiko drumming, Chinese dance, martial arts demonstrations, and K-pop performances. The complete 2027 entertainment lineup list will be provided as the festival date draws near.
Visitors can explore food vendors and an artisan marketplace featuring local businesses and handcrafted merchandise. Admission and parking are free. Food, beverages, and merchandise will be available for purchase.
Participating vendors often use banner printing to showcase their businesses and attract visitors during the festivities.
The Festival takes place Saturday, January 16th from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Sunday, January 17th from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, at Rancho Cucamonga Sports Center, 8303 Rochester Avenue. Free registration is available through Eventbrite.
