Richmond, BC – RPL welcomes the Year of the Rabbit! This year’s event at the Brighouse library will be a cross-cultural community celebration that honours traditions, highlights cultural experiences and welcomes people of all ages.
On Friday, February 3 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm, stop by the Brighouse library for an afternoon of Chinese song, dance, art, crafts and traditional experiences.
Youth and the young at heart will delight in the dance exhibitions that include a K-Pop demonstration, a Lion Dance and Chinese folk dances. Children will be captivated by the Monkey King puppet show and the Han-style costumes showcased in the costume show. There will also be a choir performance of traditional Chinese New Year folk songs by a local seniors’ choir. For those looking to try their hand at some traditional Chinese activities, there will be Chinese calligraphy stations, ink painting, and a compass fortune-telling workshop.
RPL would like to thank the event partners and sponsors whose contributions have helped to make this celebration possible.
