Classes and Events for Children
 Family Workshops Our cultural workshops offer both parents and their children an exciting glimpse into Chinese culture and society. Activities range from hands-on crafts workshops and dance lessons to exciting musical performances and story-telling sessions. For hundreds of years, the dumpling has been the culinary symbol of the Chinese New Year. All across northern China, families turn their kitchens into veritable dumpling factories, churning out dumplings for family banquets. The small, pork-filled dish provides a tasty and tangible expression of the good luck the family hopes for in the coming year. Participants in our workshop experience this time-honored tradition for themselves, wrapping their own dumplings and then eating the results! We’ll also offer chicken and vegetarian dumplings.
Sunday, February 10 The Lantern Festival is an important traditional Chinese festival, which is on the 15th of the first lunar month, marking the end of the New Year celebrations. Lanterns of all shapes and sizes embellish the streets and houses of China. Under the moonlit sky, people enjoy their last night of festivities with firecrackers, riddles, games, and more. Families reunite to eat yuanxiao, a glutinous rice ball filled with red beans, sesame, or peanuts. To celebrate the Lantern Festival, families create their own lanterns to decorate their homes and make their very own snowy white yuanxiao.
