\n

\u201cLunar New Year has always been personal for me,\u201d said Ben Landis, Senior Marketing Manager at Discover Santa Clara. \u201cBeing half Taiwanese, it is a time I grew up associating with family meals, shared traditions, and slowing down to be together. Seeing Santa Clara celebrate it through local events and restaurants reflects the community that makes this place feel special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
