On Saturday, February 13, 2010, the Chinese Community Center will present its Lunar New Year Festival, an annual celebration featuring food, fun, and festivities for the entire community. This year’s festival celebrates the Year of the Tiger, an animal associated with good fortune, power, and royalty, and viewed with both fear and respect. Attracting over 10,000 visitors each year, the 2010 festival will also celebrate Houston’s diversity, showcasing multicultural performances from Southeast Asian and South Asian countries.

The event will kick off at 11:00 a.m. with an Opening Ceremony featuring City of Houston’s Mayor Annise Parker, and other officials and dignitaries. The ceremony will also feature the Houston Grand Opera, an Acrobatic Magic Show, and the best of local talent.

Special exhibitions will showcase cultural traditions, including origami and a Chinese calligraphy demonstration. There will also be a raffle ($3 per ticket) that includes grand prizes such as round-trip airline tickets. A variety of Asian food specialties and arts & crafts, including commemorative Year of the Tiger t-shirts, will also be available for purchase. More festivities for the family included in the 60-booth bazaar.
