Immerse yourself in vibrant celebrations featuring lively lion dance performances, engaging Chinese calligraphy workshops, and maritime-inspired craft activities to usher in the Year of the Snake, presented in collaboration with the New York Chinese Cultural Center and The Seaport.

Activities include:

Chinese Calligraphy Workshop (2pm, 3pm 4pm)
12 Fulton Street | FREE

Nautical Chinese Lion Chains (11am-4:30pm)
Create your own decoration using paper links inspired by colorful signal flags that sailors use to communicate.
