Many people had second thoughts about coming out to the event at Discovery Green but said they will not let fear stop them from a celebration that means so much to them.
It was truly a night full of celebration, Lee’s Golden Dragon, performers, and fun for the whole family.
“It was really sweet to see all of the dancing that was going on. It was a lot for all the age groups. It was really cool, and Aurelia Sky was awesome to watch at the end,” Thomas Martig said. The festivities come nearly one day after a gunman opened fire amid Lunar New Year’s celebrations in a predominantly Asian American community in Monterey Park, California.“Just hearing about that, and just knowing it’s close to home, it’s just really sad because no one really bothers anybody, and just the audacity to just go out and commit something like that is really terrible, and it ruins it for everybody,” Kwon said.
Despite the mass shooting, families packed Discovery Green to sing, dance, and support the different groups and performers. “I really hope that it draws more people together than keep everyone apart. It affects everybody. I don’t care who you are or what color you are. It does affect everybody,” Kwon said.“My thoughts are with Monterey Park, California, as our nation experienced another mass shooting. Please pray for the shooting victims and their loved ones. Tragically, this event took place at a #LunarNewYear’s event.
