Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Li-Ming Chinese Academy! - In-person

2025: The Year of the Snake

Join us as students from the Li-Ming Chinese Academy bring Chinese traditions to life, celebrating the New Year. The event takes place in the Social Hall, on the second floor. All Ages welcome.

Highlights of the event include a Lion Dance, a Shadow Puppet Show, Chinese zodiac signs, and an exciting yo-yo performance. Attendees can practice their yo-yo skills and even try their hand at paper cutting and Chinese calligraphy, creating personalized Chinese names and New Year fortune wishes in activity booths after the performance.
