You have seen the dragon dance in a movie, and do you want to try one with your family in a dragon dance workshop? How about dazzling your Facebook friends by dressing up as a Chinese Emperor or Empress and taking a photo in the dress-up photo booth?
Come to enjoy a variety of delicious Asian foods and watch a show of folk dances, music ensembles and Peking opera performed by your neighbors next door as well as artists from oversea! Play a game, win a prize, or decorate a lantern with your kids!
If you need some quiet time, join the breakout sessions to try out Chinese calligraphy and traditional paintings, observe the magic of acupuncture, and join a forum discussion on new initiatives around the town, ground-breaking technologies in RTP, and listen to our public school students talk about the Education for the Future!
