The Bazaar was sponsored by CCCAS and the Chicago McKinley Park district, along with other sponsors. Here are some highlights of the Spring Festival Bazaar at McKinley Park in Chicago on February 14, 2026. We used two auditoriums filled with music; the main auditorium featured crafts, art, colorful outfits in the Chinese style, singing, performances, dancing, and three and a half hours of fun and lively music and entertainment.

February 14 th 2026 Event

The Spring Festival Bazaar—a big Lunar New Year bash at McKinley Park—just happened yesterday, February 14th. It ran from 11:30 AM to 3 PM at the field house on 2210 West Pershing Road.

Free for all ages, the event was packed with over forty groups, including the Chicago People’s Art Troupe, Midwest Asian Health Association, Citi, and the Park District.

Here’s the full lineup: lion and dragon dances kicked things off, followed by live music and song performances. There were also hands-on activities such as calligraphy demos, paper-cutting, lantern-making, face-painting for kids, and pinwheel crafts. Attendees also enjoyed wrapping dumplings and tangyuan, playing chopstick games, and twirling handkerchiefs. Other highlights included red envelopes, raffles with prizes, tea rituals, and food stalls. It was a very successful event.

Total community thing—families, locals, even some visitors mixing in.
