The tickets will be available at door: Adults $6, Children 5-9 $5, Active duty military and CSCCI member $5 and Children under 5 free.
The New Year Celebration has become a mainstay cultural event in Colorado Springs due to the growing fascination of the Asian culture. This year’s event will continue the “celebration” atmosphere as in past years. Activities for this year will feature the traditional lion dance, Taiko, kung Fu demonstrations, traditional Chinese dances, Chinese yo-yo demonstrations and Chinese musical performances. “Chinatown” offers an assortment of Asian-themed merchants and a “Taste of China” to whet your appetite from various food vendors. Cultural performances will take place on the Main Stage; in the “Teahouse” you can drink a cup of hot tea, relax and eat snacks while enjoying Chinese instrument performance, Tai Chi and many other traditional demonstrations.
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
