In Chinese culture, 2020 is the Year of the Rat — a year of new opportunities for finding true love and earning more money.

Perhaps one of your first true loves of 2020 will be the multi-course dinner at The Carriage House from 6 – 9 p.m. on Saturday, February 1.

The celebration is often considered one of the most important holidays on the Chinese calendar, and each Asian-inspired dish will be prepared by chef Janos Wilder and chef Devon Sanner.

Aside from the fantastic feast, the Jade Lion performing dance troupe from Tucson’s Chinese Cultural Center will perform to ring in the Year of the Rat.

Tickets are $87.50 and include a five-course dinner and a half bottle of wine per person. You can also purchase tickets by calling (520) 615-6100.
