The Best Lunar New Year Events & Other Things to Do This Weekend in L.A. | Feb. 1 – Feb. 3

Los Angeles is ringing in the Lunar New Year with an array of dazzling celebrations, from jazz-infused nostalgia to elegant tea service and festive dining. At Benny Boy Brewing in Lincoln Heights, Jessica Fichot and her band bring the golden era of Shanghai swing to life with a multilingual concert, blending jazz, Mandopop, and classic Chinese New Year tunes—all for a good cause. Meanwhile, Dahlia at the Proper Hotel is elevating the season with an exquisite afternoon tea experience, featuring decadent pastries, Wagyu-studded sticky rice, and a selection of rare teas, including a Mocha Mousse blend inspired by 2025’s Pantone Color of the Year. And for those craving something warm and celebratory, Ippudo in West Hollywood is offering an extended all-day happy hour through February 4, serving up their signature ramen alongside exclusive Lunar New Year specials. As the city celebrates renewal and good fortune, film lovers can also find tributes and screenings honoring the legendary David Lynch happening across L.A., making this weekend one to remember.

David Lynch Tribute Screenings
Various Locations
Until February 2
As love continues to pour in for the inimitable David Lynch (see the roses, cigarettes and personal messages at Burbank’s Bob’s Big Boy for further proof), some of the city’s movie theaters are paying tribute, filling their schedules with screenings of the director’s films this week. American Cinematheque is leading the way with Blue Velvet (January 28–30) and Wild at Heart (January 29, 31) at the Los Feliz 3 and Inland Empire at the Aero January 31. At the Egyptian Theatre, catch a matinee of Wild at Heart on Saturday, followed by Mulholland Drive and a double bill of Lynch’s short films and Eraserhead on Sunday. Vidiots is also showing Eraserhead on January 30, and on the same night, the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz is screening Twin Peaks: The Return, Episode 8, which blew fans’ collective minds when it first aired. And last but not least, those in the South Bay can catch a triple feature of Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Eraserhead at Gardena Cinema on Saturday—that’s seven straight hours of Lynch.
