Year of the Dragon Celebration at Gaithersburg Library

Join us for a captivating celebration of the 2024 Lunar New Year, presented in collaboration with students from the Li-Ming Chinese Academy and the Gaithersburg Library. This special program promises to immerse you in the rich tapestry of Chinese New Year customs and cultural activities.

Discover the traditions of Chinese families as they joyfully welcome the Lunar New Year, exploring the significance of various customs. Delve into the intriguing world of Chinese zodiac signs and learn how they shape individual characteristics based on birth years.

The festivities extend beyond informative sessions, featuring a shadow puppet show, a delightful fusion of artistry and storytelling. Experience the grace and beauty of Tai-Chi in live demonstrations, showcasing the traditional Chinese martial art. Additionally, be captivated by the artistry of yo-yo performances, displaying the skillful manipulation of this classic toy.
As the program unfolds, seize the opportunity to try your hand at yo-yo tricks during hands-on practice sessions. Conclude the celebration with a Chinese calligraphy demonstration, where you can witness the creation of personalized Chinese names for yourselves and receive new year fortune wishes.

We extend our warm invitation to you, your family, and friends to join us in ushering in the Year of the Dragon with joy, laughter, and cultural enrichment. Look forward to sharing this special occasion with you and the community at the Gaithersburg Library.
