Free Open House with treats and entertainment from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. Bring your friends and family to enjoy the fun. The entertainment, crafts, and treats are all FREE. There will be several giveaways and contests to add to the fun.Lion Dance Performance at approximately 3:00 pm, followed by demonstrations of Tai Chi, Kung Fu forms and weapons. The Chinese Lion Dance is often confused with the Dragon Dance. Both are a part of Chinese New Year and other traditional Chinese festivities. The Chinese Lion Dance is performed by two people, wearing a Lion Dance costume, and the Dragon Dance is performed by many more people.
Bring some optional cash if you'd like to "feed" the lion during its ceremonial dance. Jing Ying will provide the hong bao (red envelope) in which to place the money. This is supposed to bring good luck to the giver, and the more given, the better the luck! Since it is the Year of the Horse, money will be donated to Maryland Therapeutic Riding. Through distinguished equine-assisted services, they partner with horses to support the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of children and adults with diverse challenges.
