2023 Lunar New Year Celebration at BELLEVUE SQUARE

by Ricky Head · January 15, 2023

The most important festival in China is the Chinese New Year, commonly referred to as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. It is also a significant celebration in certain other East Asian nations.

The holiday known as Chinese New Year marks the start of a fresh year according to the ancient Chinese lunisolar calendar. Prior to becoming a time for feasting and family visits, it was historically a time to commemorate deities and ancestors.

The date of the Chinese New Year is determined by the Chinese lunar calendar. The date changes every year but is always somewhere in the period from January 21st to February 20th.

The Year of the Rabbit, more precisely, the Water Rabbit begins on January 22nd, 2023, and ends on February 9th, 2024.

At Bellevue Square in Bellevue, Washington, the Bellevue Collection presents an amazing Chinese New Year show and offers family-friendly activities every year.

With my phone, I recorded this video. However, there is enough light to record some footage, even if I’m not a big fan of utilizing the cellphone to record video. It’s too troublesome and heavy to film with a DSLR camera. However, in post-production, I color-graded the video. In effect, the video took on a more cinematic appearance.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I have removed the original audio from the live event. In light of this, I won’t have trouble with YouTube copyright music. I swapped out the music without any copyrights.

The final version of the video is embedded below. Thank you for visiting!

I wish you all good fortune and good health in the Year of the Rabbit!
