The event featured a variety of cultural demonstrations — including a Sichuan opera face-changing, Chinese yoyo and acrobatics performances, as well as a children’s fashion show which had participants showcase beautiful traditional garments — in celebration of the Year of the Tiger. Many vendors were also stationed and displayed their Lunar New Year-themed goods and delicious samples of Chinese cuisine.
