When people mention the Spring Festival, most will think that is merely a one- day celebration. The truth is that it lasts about 15 days and each day is full of meaning and activity.

In this cultural talk, we will explain what the Spring Festival means, why this festival is so special for Chinese people, and what Chinese people do during the Spring Festival.

The origin of the Spring Festival, traditional folk songs and stories, special foods like dumplings and yuanxiao plus activities such as the Dragon and Lion dance will also be introduced.

Expect an interactive session with opportunities to chat to other participants and learn some Chinese.

This event will be held online via Zoom. We will email you details of how to join the day before.
