Lunar New Year Carnival 2017

The New Year festival is centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and customs. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honor deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Mauritius and Australia, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours.

The event will include food, beverages, different games (ring-tossing, shuttlecock kicking, etc.), Chinese traditional culture experience (paper cutting, dumpling making, Chinese calligraphy), performances (Jazz dance, dragon dance, Kung Fu, etc.). Also, Johnson staff (e.g. CMC, Admission) will perform a fashion runway, and you will see Dean Nelson there too! It's only $25. You can register on CampusGroup or VENMO $25 to @crossrainxin
