2015 Chinese New Year Festival at Westchester County Center

Following an enormous success for the Chinese New Year Celebration held at the Westchester County Center last year, the Westchester Association of Chinese Americans (WACA) will organize its 2015 Annual Event on Saturday, February 7, 2015 from 2pm to 6pm at the same place and in an innovative form.

For this Year of the Ram, the theme of the celebration is “Spotlights on a Time-tested Tradition”, featuring in gourmet Chinese cuisine presentation and food sampling by the local Asian restaurants, bakeries or individuals; art gallery presenting art shows, calligraphy and Chinese painting; hand craft demonstrations such as paper cutting and origami; martial arts demonstrations including Tai Chi and lion dance; as well as Chinese musical instruments performances. On top of all these, there will be a formal program of artistic performances by the professional artists and the local art groups showcasing, in addition to the Chinese traditional forms of performing art, a marvelous presentation of Chinese acrobats. And best of all, the price for all this is $15 for adult and $10 for elderly and children as early bird prices, a bargain you can’t find anywhere in the county.

This year marks the 26th anniversary of this annual Chinese New Year celebration event organized by WACA, and the upcoming 2015 celebratory activities are going to be held in partnership with the Westchester County Park and Recreation Department at the County Center, the best and the largest event facility in the county.

So please come to spend an afternoon with us to enjoy the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, to learn the rich history and culture of China and to taste the delicacies that this culture has to offer.
