Keep Phoenix New Times Free
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures New Times can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Each week, Jackalope Ranch brings you a free event, workshop, or you-name-it happening in Phoenix. Because sometimes the best things in life really are free. This week’s freebie: Chinese Week.
Chinese New Year is this Sunday, February 10, and to ring in the Year of the Snake, the 23rd Annual Phoenix Chinese Week will be delivering a weekend-long festival of culture, cuisine and more.
