FREE Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration At World Financial Center

Chinese New Year is always an enjoyable festival for those not familiar with the Chinese culture. You learn new things and have fun all while enjoying a new experience. Most importantly, if you were one of the few people working on New Year’s Eve, you get a chance to celebrate another New Year.

If you follow our calendar, this Saturday, January 28th, the World Financial Center will be hosting a FREE celebration for the Chinese Lunar New Year for all ages. Beginning at 1pm, you’ll be able to participate in some arts & crafts such as traditional techniques of paper cutting, dough figurines, face painting, and calligraphy.

Performances brought to you by the New York Chinese Cultural Center will begin at 2:30pm. The audience will be serenaded by gravity-defying acrobatics, festive musical ensembles and costumed folk dancers. Fear not, folks because the lion-dance will make its presence felt.The festivities end at 4pm, freeing you up for the rest of the evening.
