16th New Year Chinese New Year
Firecracker Ceremony & Cultural Festival in Chinatown, NYC
February 19, 2015 at 11am.
It is tradition to begin the Lunar New Year by setting off
firecrackers at midnight. And, since Chinatown in NYC inhabits approximately
100,000 people and is one of the largest enclaves outside of Asia, you know they
are pretty serious about traditions! However, it is illegal to light
firecrackers in NYC! So, there is a formal ceremony that is approved for the setting
off of rockets and firecrackers along with lion dances, drumming, dancing and a
parade through the streets.

Chinese New Year with Lan Su
Thursday,
February 19, 2015
Lan
Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland's greatest treasures. Built by Chinese
artisans from our sister city Suzhou (home of China's famous ancient
gardens), it's among the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China.
Much more than just a beautiful garden, Lan Su is a creative wonder -- a
powerfully inspiring experience based on a 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition
that melds art, architecture, design and nature in perfect harmony.
Lan
Su is a rare treasure that offers an extraordinary glimpse into Chinese
culture. Visitors of all ages can explore the garden, its history and
meanings through a wide variety of fun and enriching activities, including:
guided and self-guided tours, mahjong, tai chi, calligraphy, musical
performances, art shows, tea tastings, and an ongoing lecture series
featuring everything from Chinese medicine and acupuncture to healthy
cooking and eating.
Chinese
New Year 2015—Year of the Ram celebrations begin February 19! Start your
preparations for Chinese New Year by cleaning your house, gathering with
family and planning your visit to Lan Su! Chinese New Year is the most
colorful and joyous of all Chinese festivals and Lan Su celebrates with two
weeks of festivities and four evenings of Lantern Viewing.
Each
guest visiting on February 19 will also receive a hong bao—a traditional
lucky red envelope.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF TIME TO 6:00PM Ring in the Year of the
Sheep at IHP! Featuring dance performances from the
Chinese community in Philadelphia, a sampling of traditional Chinese food,
and at the end of the evening, and a time-honored lion dance to welcome the
coming year once and for all. Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year, is a
centuries old, important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated all around
the world. Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the
celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often, the evening
preceding New Year’s Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather
together to their annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every
family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any
ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will
be decorated with red paper cut-outs with popular themes of good-fortune or
happiness, wealth, and longevity. Other activities include lighting
firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. Chinese tradition
states that the Year of the Horse is optimistic, with a belief that good
fortune will soon be on the way with plenty of supportive friends, so please
join together and celebrate with your friends at International House!
