The Shops at Mauna Lani invites the community to its third annual Fortune Festival 5-8 p.m. Feb. 19 in South Kohala.

To ring in the Year of the Monkey, the colorful lion dancers of Big Island Shaolin Arts will perform, and participants can “feed” the lions with red lai envelopes for new year’s blessings.

Other highlights of the free festival include martial arts performances, fire blowing, I Ching fortune telling, relaxing Chinese acupressure, and a Chinese Dragon display where visitors can pose for photos. In addition, the shopping center will offer a good luck “Hang Sau Zung Grab Bag” and various Chinese New Year sales at participating locations.

A variety of foods will be available for purchase during the festival. Additional event parking will be available with continuous shuttle service.
