CulutreFest! Lunar New Year Celebration
📅 Saturday, January 21, 10 AM- 4 PM
📍Penn Museum, 3260 South St
The Penn Museum will present its annual Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, January 21, 2023, in partnership with the American Chinese Museum. Events will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and all activities are included with museum admission.
Many communities recognize Lunar New Year, including those who identify with Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Tibetan cultures. The holiday traditionally begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar, and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. This festive holiday originated as a time to rest from farm work and be with loved ones. The diverse customs of Lunar New Year include feasting, exchanging gifts, lighting exquisite lanterns, and making offerings to gods and ancestors.
Visitors can celebrate the Year of the Rabbit by enjoying the traditional Lion Dance, performed by Penn Lions, the University of Pennsylvania’s premiere Chinese Lion Dance troupe, as well as other traditional and contemporary music and dance performances. This celebration is perfect for all ages, with storytelling and make-and-take activities throughout the day.
