Thanks to Berkeley's Fourth Street for sponsoring this guide to Lunar New Year for Bay Area families.
As the Year of the Rat has arrived, a handful of Lunar New Year celebrations are scheduled around the Bay Area. Here are some places to take your children to celebrate the cultures of many local families. They are all so much fun and many, like those pictured here on Fourth Street, are also FREE!
