Chinese New Year Choy Cheng Party Saturday, January 24 from 5:30 - 8 p.m.

Chinese New Year Choy Cheng Party
Saturday, January 24 from 5:30 - 8 p.m.

As part of the 2025 Chinese New Year celebration sponsored by the City and County, DAC will commemorate the Year of the Snake and the 125th anniversary of the Great Chinatown Fire of 1900 with a special event in Chinatown Gateway Plaza's Studio 1C Gallery, January 24 from 5:30 - 8 p.m. The celebration, featuring lion dancers, firecrackers, live music by Men in Grey Suits, and other festivities, will reflect on the history of Chinatown, from the ashes of the fire to the vibrant community we have today, as well as our hopes for the future.

Beginning January 4, 2025, and continuing through the 24th, we invite the public to participate in an interactive project: Our visitors will be encouraged to write their wishes and dreams on traditional yellow Buddhist "wish papers," which will then be sewn together into a community lei to be displayed at the event.
