Chinese New Year in Vancouver 2011

The Garden is pleased to co-present the Chinese New Year Celebration in the Courtyard. The event is quickly becoming a part of the Chinese New Year parade day celebration.

The courtyard-fair atmosphere, coupled with the cross-cultural performances, provide an opportunity for artists from Vancouver’s different cultural backgrounds to display their creativity and collaborate to create new sounds for a traditional festival.
