Usher in the Year of the Water Dragon by way of traditional Chinese festivities at the Araneta Center this month.

From now until January 28, know your fortune by visiting the Year of the Dragon exhibits located in various pop-up booths at Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, and the Farmers Plaza.

Pick your ang pao (lucky red envelope) from one of the money trees when you purchase at least P500 worth of products from participating stores and you just might be lucky enough to take home some cool prizes.

Umbrellas, Chinese fans, key chains, fortune charms and gems, and free consultation with a Chinese fortune teller are up for grabs.

Experience the festive Chinese New Year celebrations with lion and dragon dances at the Araneta malls on January 22 and 23.

There will be a grand fireworks display on January 23 at 7 p.m.
