The City of Solon held a Lunar New Year Celebration at the Solon Community Center on Saturday January 31, 2026. The event began with the Kwan Family Lion Dance team performing. The Kwan family has been performing the traditional Chinese Lion Dance for over 40 years.

Watch a video of their performance. Watch all the kids run to the front to catch the oranges and candy from the Lion.

Here are some photos from the Kwan Family Lion Dance performance.
