Lunar New Year Celebration *Rescheduled Date*
FREE - RSVP
February 5, 2022 3-5 pm
Join BKCM as we celebrate the passing of a new lunar year with an afternoon of traditional and contemporary Chinese music, crafts, calligraphy and much more. Bring the family and enjoy a traditional Chinese celebration of the Year of the Tiger! This event will take place in-person at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music’s Garden.
We are excited to be back in person to celebrate this day. To keep things as safe as possible, the event will be held outdoors in the BKCM Garden and on the block with masks required.
Please note that our event was previously scheduled for January 29, 2022, but we rescheduled the celebration in light of the winter storm. We are planning many wonderful new activities for next weekend’s event. More details to come!
To get the fun started, we have opened up our Lunar New Year raffle in advance of the event! You do not need to attend the event to purchase a ticket; should you win, we will mail you your prize. Tickets will also be sold in-person.
