This year, Lunar New Year – the year of the Ox in 2021 – celebrated by Chinese, Vietnamese, and people of other Asian countries – is a little different this year due to the ongoing pandemic. There is no Vietnamese New Year Festival at the Central Florida Fairgrounds or at any of the local churches and temples. Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple, which traditionally parades along Colonial to bless the businesses and scare away any bad mojo spirits, has pared down their official schedule and required mask wearing and social distancing at their events.
There’s still a few ways to celebrate with food this year here in Orlando, while supplies last, including offerings from:
1. Hawkers Asian Street Food
2. Le Ky Patisserie
3. Light on the Sugar
4. Amy’s Mooncakes![]()
