The Asian-Pacific Association of Longmont (A-PAL) presents its 10th annual Chinese New Year Celebration on February 8, 2020 at Silver Creek High School (2:00-5:00 pm). We invite the community to join us in ushering in the Year of the Rat with our special Lantern Festival. Come and immerse yourselves in a day of live cultural performances, such as the Chinese Lion Dance, Taiko Drumming, and Kung-Fu presentations; a quarter mile of interactive cultural/educational booths; live music; two art shows; robotics and virtual reality activities; and Asian food tasting. A-PAL’s 200 volunteers will be ready to serve an expected 2,000 participants, and Longmont Mayor Brian Bagley will honor us as Master of Ceremonies. This event is free and open to the public.
