The Asian Cultural Center of Vermont (ACCVT) celebrates the Lunar New Year of China, Korea and Vietnam Sunday, February 8, 1:00-3:00. You don’t have to be Asian or know anything about Asia to participate! Join us at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center to usher in the year of the Red Fire Horse ushering in a year focused on bold moves, exploration ,and potentially transformative change.
Join us for traditional Chinese Performances with Li Fei Osborne and her Mandarin language students, Chinese morning exercises and Qigong led by Cai Xi, and traditional New Year songs and crafts. We end our celebration with a Dragon parade up from the Museum towards Main Street to bring us luck for the coming year.
Don’t miss the chance to dance with the 30-foot dragon created by an accomplished Vietnamese craftsman. According to Chinese folklore, this enormous marionette is forever chasing the ‘heavenly pearl’ in its pursuit of wisdom.
