Itinerary:

The LunarFest celebrates the East Asian Lunar New Year. 2016 is the Year of the Fire Monkey, and there will be monkey-themed exhibitions besides the usual music, dance, crafts and food from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese traditions.

We'll meet outside the High Park station (35 Quebec Avenue entrance) at 10 AM on Saturday. We'll then walk through the High Park and the lakeshore. The hike will end at the festival venue — the Harbourfront Centre, which is a 15- minute walk from the Union station. We'll reach the festival venue sometime around 12:30 pm. The festival will go on until 7pm — you can leave anytime you want. The program schedule can be found here (admission is free).
