Chinese clothing will be presented by a group who will explain its symbolism. Performance of Chinese dances, music, and instruments from throughout China by Art Troupes from Virginia and Maryland will begin in the main auditorium from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Auditorium doors will be opened at 6:10 PM.
A panda will welcome you to this colorful, exuberant celebration. All ages are welcome.
Please help us by wearing a mask, even if you have been vaccinated.
