San Francisco (January 26, 2025) - San Francisco’s Chinese New Year festivities kickstarted on Saturday with the Flower Market Festival. Nestled in the center of Chinatown, covering multiple city blocks, the market was adorned with art installations, vibrant yellow flowers, and various vendors.

One installation, in particular, caught the attention (and hands) of attendees.

 

“Arm Day, Leg Day” by Bijun Liang is a “large-scale, interactive work” that welcomes marketgoers to participate with two 15-foot inflatable cats. 


“If you pet both Arm Day and Leg Day, then you get full ‘福 Body Protection’ for the year,” Liang, a San Francisco native, said in an interview with AsAmNews.
