Alhambra's Lunar New Year Festival Postponed Amid Coronavirus Fears
Alhambra has canceled its Lunar New Year celebration this weekend amid fears over the coronavirus outbreak.
In a statement, the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce said promoters made the decision out of concern for staff, volunteers, and the public.
The 29th Annual Alhambra Lunar New Year Festival was set for 10 a.m. Saturday. The Chamber of Commerce said they're working to reschedule a similar event for June.
