Celebrate the Year of the Snake with SAAM! Join us for our 11th year of showcasing the ways different Asian cultures celebrate the Lunar New Year. Attendees will enjoy dance and musical performances, crafts, traditional Chinese and Korean art demonstrations, family-friendly activities, and more. The Courtyard Café will offer special holiday treats for purchase to honor the occasion.

This program is presented in partnership with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center and the Korean Cultural Center, Washington, DC.
