12th Annual Chinese New Year Festival

The New Year Celebration has become a mainstay cultural event in Colorado Springs due to the growing fascination of the Asian culture. This year’s event will continue the “celebration” atmosphere as in past years. Activities for this year will feature the traditional lion dance, kung Fu demonstrations, traditional Chinese dances, Chinese yo-yo demonstrations and Chinese musical performances. “Chinatown” offers an assortment of Asian-themed merchants and a “Taste of China” to whet your appetite… Show more from various food vendors. Cultural performances will take place on the Main Stage, while in the “Teahouse” people learn to play mahjong (a Chinese card game), or Go (a Chinese “checkers” game) or learn calligraphy at the “Tea House.”
