Welcome the year of the ox with an at-home experience!

The IMAS has opened a call to the community for video submissions contributing to its virtual Lunar New Year celebration.

Scroll down to submit a short video of a musical performance, cultural dance, or recorded testimonial of how you celebrate Lunar New Year. Photos welcome, too!

The IMAS is also once again hosting special giant light sculptures on museum grounds for visitors to view now through the month of February. The City of Jinju, South Korea, has loaned these sculptures to the IMAS following their special appearances in the McAllen Holiday Parade in 2019 and at the McAllen Convention Center in 2020. This collaboration bridges both communities through festivals and cultural events such as the Lunar New Year celebration.
