Lunar New Year Family Celebration
Saturday, February 10, 11:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon with SAAM! Join us for our annual celebration showcasing the ways different Asian cultures ring in the Lunar New Year. Attendees will enjoy dance and music performances, crafts, traditional Chinese and Korean art demonstrations, photo booths, face painting (for children 12 and under, while supplies last), family-friendly activities, and the showstopping lion dance. The Courtyard Café will also offer special holiday treats to celebrate the occasion.

This program is presented in partnership with the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States of America and with the Korean Cultural Center, Washington, DC.
