One of my favorite events is coming up soon - The Asian New Year Festival! Having lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for over 4 years I've enjoyed a few Chinese New Year events in Chinatown! San Antonio has an international community with the many military instillation that are present. The Institute of Texan Cultures further celebrates it with a fun event on the campus.
