Rockstar Games is ringing in the Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse) with a fresh week of festivities in GTA Online. Running from February 19th through February 25th, 2026, this event brings festive flair, big money multipliers, sweet vehicle deals, and brand-new content to Los Santos.
Whether you're a longtime Los Santos veteran or just logging in for the free goodies, there's something for every player this week.
Festive Vibes Hit Los Santos
Mansions across the map are decked out with glowing red lanterns for that authentic Lunar New Year atmosphere. Yuanbao Collectibles (those shiny golden ingots) have returned and are scattered across San Andreas—grab them for quick cash and RP while the event is live.
Pro tip: The Valentine’s Day “Cheater” random event has been temporarily disabled to make room for the new celebrations.
New Content: Senora Derby Stunt Race
The star of the show is the brand-new Senora Derby Lunar New Year Stunt Race! Jump behind the wheel of high-performance rides and tackle this explosive, fireworks-filled course packed with massive jumps and cinematic stunts.
