On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, tradition turns its focus to people. Renri (人日) — the Birthday of Humanity— marks the day the goddess Nuwa is believed to have created humankind, a moment that celebrates life, unity and the simple fortune of being here together. At 24 Suns, the evening unfolds as a dining room–wide birthday. Every guest is welcomed with a candle and birthday cake soft serve — a small, joyful ritual shared by all. The experience is anchored by the restaurant’s seven-course Lunar New Year tasting menu, a number chosen for its auspicious meaning. Each course carries intention for the year ahead — prosperity, balance, renewal and longevity — expressed through the winter microseason of Southern California. The meal begins with Yi Sangh (Prosperity Salad), the vibrant Lunar New Year salad traditionally lifted high with chopsticks to invite abundance and good fortune. It continues with the dramatic 17-foot longevity noodle, passed and shared at the table, its unbroken length symbolizing a long and flourishing life. (Tip of the iceberg, the full menu is lip smacking) Lunar New Year is the turning of the calendar and the beginning of the first solar term — a time to move forward with clarity and purpose. In the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of vitality, transformation and momentum, this day becomes a reminder that the new year is not only about fortune, but about people — the community gathered around the table. For one evening, every guest is celebrated. Every wish is made at once. And the act of dining becomes a shared beginning. Reservations at OpenTable.

Monday, November 11 from 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This Woodworking Camp is all about building and designing in wood! Children will learn about the safe use of tools as well as the properties of wood while making projects. We’ll be upcycling wood and 2x4s into step stools, seating, and game prototypes. Projects and depth of skill exploration are matched up to the children’s age/ability. The first part of the day is structured around a step stool project so that campers can learn tool safety and get comfortable with our materials and workflow. The 2nd part of the camp will encourage children to sketch their ideas and designs, invent fun games that we can work on in small groups, and try out different building methods to see what works best as we spend the afternoon creatively constructing, engineering, and exploring all things wood! This camp is recommended for children 8-12 years. Some power tools will be used. Transfer from Another Liberty Station Arts Camp Optional | No Charge If your child is in another camp in Liberty Station Arts District that ends as ours begins and you need your child transferred, let us know!
