Diamond Bar proclaims Lunar New Year; local Chinese American Association to host festival
Summary
The Diamond Bar City Council read a proclamation recognizing the Lunar New Year and invited residents to a free festival at Diamond Bar High School this Saturday, announced by Heidi Kwok of the Diamond Bar Chinese American Association.
The Diamond Bar City Council on Feb. 3 read a proclamation honoring the Lunar New Year and recognizing the contributions of Asian and Pacific Islander communities to the city. The proclamation noted that Lunar New Year will fall on Feb. 17, 2026, and declared observance for the community.
Heidi Kwok, identified in the meeting as president of the Diamond Bar Chinese American Association, accepted the proclamation and invited residents to a Lunar New Year Festival at Diamond Bar High School on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. "It's a wonderful event that brings all communities together to celebrate New Year," Kwok said, and added that admission is free.
The council read language celebrating the cultural heritage and contributions of community members and urged residents to join the festival’s performances, food and community activities. City officials reminded attendees that information about city events and registration is available on the city website.
The festival and proclamation do not require council action beyond the ceremonial recognition; the event is organized by the Diamond Bar Chinese American Association and will be held at Diamond Bar High School as announced.
