The University City Chamber of Commerce, Create Space and Urban Chestnut have collaborated to bring the St. Louis community University City’s Second Annual Lunar New Year Festival to discover the festive spirit of Lunar New Year to foster cultural awareness through banquets, parade, and Night Market.

This collaboration has resulted in creating a Lunar New Year Brew: Moon Monkey Ale with Ginger, which will be unveiled at the Lunar Brew Tasting at Create Space from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12.

Moon Monkey will also be available during University City’s two-day Lunar New Year Festival. The festival will kick off at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 19, with traditional 10-course banquets and lion dance performances at four University City restaurants: LuLu Seafood, Mandarin House, Wonton King and Wei Hong.
