South Coast Plaza celebrated the Year of the Rat at its 10th anniversary Lunar New Year 18-day festivities January 18 through February 9, 2020. It continues to be the largest and most extensive of any retail center on the West Coast. In keeping with its annual tradition, South Coast Plaza presented in Jewel Court an ornate custom-designed New Year’s centerpiece featuring rat figures, giant lanterns and a garden (see photo). Lunar New Year weekend entertainment featured Asian cultural performances, including the Lion Dance, UniStar Variety Show, ETTV Top Idol singers, Kingsmen hip-hop and Korean Hansori drumming. Children were invited to assemble decorative Lunar New Year lanterns at a craft station, with the lanterns complimentary. The annual Enter-to-Win contest featured an opportunity to win luxury prizes from select South Coast Plaza boutiques, along with a South Coast Plaza $1,000 shopping spree. The drawing is being held February 25, and winners will be notified February 28. SouthCoastPlaza.com
