Chinese Lunar New Year 2007
Beat the ceremonial drum! It’s nearly time to celebrate the Year of the Boar!
The Chinese year 4705 begins on February 18, 2007. Food, fun, and a fantastic silent auction will be some of the many highlights as the Texas State Museum of Asian Cultures & Education Center hosts its annual Chinese Lunar New Year Celebration on Saturday February 24 (5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m).
A full Chinese buffet, traditional dancers, and a fun-filled evening of entertainment are included in the admission.
This year’s traditional Lion Dance will be even more special, as the dancers will debut the two new lion costumes graciously donated to the Texas Museum of Asian Cultures & Education Center by the Taiwanese Consulate in July.
Contact the Museum for tickets.
