Celebrate the Year of the Horse with an afternoon that blends tradition, performance, and hands-on creativity.
The celebration begins with a Lunar New Year welcome, followed by lion and dragon dances, Chinese yo-yo, and special performances by youth from the Southern California Youth Cultural Association.
Grab beverage samples from Irvine’s own Macu Tea and enjoy hands-on activities including calligraphy and origami stations hosted by Global Art Healing Therapy.
You can also explore interactive art and cultural activities throughout the library and outdoor spaces, including mini lantern decorating, paper fortune cookies, and more.
