This year our Lunar New Year celebration will bring together aspects of Mongolian and Chinese culture. Please join us on this joyous cross-cultural event! Fun for all ages.
Come dressed in your traditional clothing and share your heritage with us! Enjoy Mongolian vegan milk tea, traditional Mongolian salads, and other delicious treats. Get creative with craft activities, (Mongolian stencils and Chinese paper cutting), snack on yummy foods and enjoy great company. Alongside our Anti-Racist Library
Note: While Mongolian New Year (Tsagaan Sar) begins on 1st March this year, we're gathering to celebrate how different cultures mark the Lunar New Year. Lunar New Year is celebrated in countries like China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Tibet and Mongolia - and by East Asian communities around the world.
We'll have plenty of food and snacks to go around and would love for you to join us! Come share the joy and traditions of the Lunar New Year!
