On the first day of Lunar New Year (January 25, 2020) from 1 to 6 p.m., the Spokane Chinese Association will host a Lunar New Year Celebration (including a Culture Fair, Storytelling, and Performances) at The University High School (12420 E 32nd Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99216).
This year’s theme of the celebration is “Descendants of the Dragon in Spokane: Our Culture, Our Stories”. Please bring your family and friends to the celebration and share in our traditional culture and art. Activities are open to the public without charge.
The Lunar New Year Cultural Fair will be held at the University High School Common Area from 1 to 4 p.m. on January 25th. The cultural fair will include Chinese calligraphy and painting performances by Mr. Wang Zongren and his students, together with hand paper cutting and traditional Chinese chess sets. It will also have fun games such as loops and jumping ropes. In addition, there are opportunities for parents to enjoy Chinese language education and community group introduction, as well as other wonderful cultural activities. Parents and children will be able to recognize and appreciate the charm of Chinese culture and arts in these activities.
In the 2020 Lunar New Year Celebration, SCA will dedicate a brand new program to the greater Spokane community i.e. “Storytelling of Chinese Immigrants”. We will have storytellers including Ping Ping’s humorous story, which won first place in the Humorous Speech Category of the 9th District of Toastmaster International 2019, touching stories by Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs in Spokane, and others. These stories will open a window for people of Spokane to “see” who we are. It will also deepen our own community‘s understanding of our internal world. The storytelling is from 3 to 3: 45 pm at Theater of University High School. It is free to the public.
From 4:30 to 6 pm, the Lunar New Year Show will be held at the University High School Auditorium. Having served the community for 18 years, Spokane Chinese Dance Group, led by captain Mary Zhang, will perform Chinese traditional folk dances. Spokane Chinese Choir will bring you songs in both Chinese and English. Lion dance, magic, and other talent programs will bring variety to the stage. Spokane Chinese Church Choir & Band, with more than 50 members, are busy practicing their programs and looking forward to being part of the show.
