Happy Chinese New Year! We find it oddly fitting that 2011 brings the year of the (jack)rabbit — the fourth of twelve animal-based astrological signs in the Chinese calendar that symbolizes tranquility and calm. And while we’re busy trying to teach Mavis how to do a dragon dance, you can check out special New Year events around the Valley (and be sure to check out a drool-worthy list of celebratory food over on Chow Bella). The Chinese Cultural Center and Phoenix Sister Cities have joined forces to present a slew of cultural celebrations during Chinese Week, February 7 through 13.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there. The
week’s festivals and banquets, including dances, art contests, Chinese
meals, vendor booths, and kid-friendly activities, will be held at the
Chinese Cultural Center at
668 North 44th St. in Phoenix. For a complete rundown of festival events, check out the Chinese Week schedule or visit the Phoenix Chinese Week website.
