Dragon Dance, Chinese Folk Dance & Shaolin Style Kung Fu

Ring in the Year of the Dragon this Lunar New Year! The global holiday takes place on the second new moon after the winter solstice (typically landing in late January or early February) and is celebrated by about 2 billion people every year. The Year of the Dragon is believed to be one of the most important signs within the 12-year lunar cycle and signifies a time of great transformation. To celebrate, the Shadle Park Library is hosting a series of cultural and educational events to kick off the 15-day celebration. Starting with a children’s story time at 10 am, there will also be dance performances by the Spokane Chinese Association, a cooking demonstration on shaobing (a type of flatbread), and K-Pop centered activities. Attendees can also enter a raffle with gift certificates to local Asian grocery stores, restaurants and more.
