Chinese New Year Celebrations!

In 2009, Reader's Digest named the Butte Mai Wah Chinese New Year Parade one of the 6 most interesting processions in America! Join us for a true Butte experience!

Special thanks to this year's Dragon Dancers, who went far beyond simply carrying the 60-foot dragon!

In addition to the Dragon Dance blessing each business, owners received a window card to show their support for the Mai Wah and to help keep evil spirits away. THANK YOU!



The Dragon, a gift to the Mai Wah from the people of Taiwan, returned to its home on Mercury Street for another year. 10,000 firecrackers welcomed the Dragon home.

You can visit it there, starting in June!
