Lunar New Year: Chopstick challenges, an 11:30 a.m. God of Fortune parade, displays of calligraphy, paper cutting and way more are all part of the Lunar New Year celebrations staged by The Chinese Graduate Association of Alberta and Kingsway Mall Saturday.
This ringing in of the Year of the Dragon all happens on both mall levels, starting at 11 a.m. with drumming by Kejia Athletic Association with Wushu, Tai Chi and Kung Fu demos, singing and dancing, all the way up to the Lion and Dragon Dance at 4:30 p.m. Full sked is at kingswaymall.com, and it’s all free!

Details: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. at Kingsway Mall (1 Kingsway), no charge.
The Endless: Local post-metal quartet The Endless proudly explores immersive musical landscapes, devoid of the shackles of lyrical constraint.
The show is a release of their five-song, Leroy-Schulz-cover debut album recorded and mastered last year. Machines Like These, Fear the Mammoth and Musing all lead up to the infinitely-named headliners on at 10:45 p.m., Jared Muir on drums, Terry Palmer and Eddy Keyes both playing guitar, with James Palmer rounding out the rhythm on bass. I’ve got a good feeling about this band.

Open Walls: Bleeding Heart Art Space celebrates the “beautiful chaos of diverse community” with its seventh, crowdsourced Open Walls gallery show.
It’s a rolling submissions affair, meaning that even once the show starts its run you can bring your artwork of any size, medium, subject or skill level, so long as there’s still space to fit it — each submission (only one allowed) requiring a slight bit of paperwork by filling out a form at bleedingheartart.space https://bleedingheartart.space/openwalls7.
The reception starts at noon Saturday, and will of course be completely unpredictable, which is precisely the point!
Details: Noon-3 p.m. Sat., runs through Mar. 2 at Bleeding Heart (11203 68 St.), no charge.
