Lunar New Year 2025

Celebrate the Year of the Snake with a festive day of arts, crafts, performances, and demonstrations for all ages! Begin with a ceremonial lion dance, and then enjoy Chinese classical dances, Indonesian gamelan music, a tai chi demonstration, and a sogo-chum performance. Learn origami, calligraphy, and knitting from experts, and explore Family Art Workshops featuring slithering snake paper crafts and fú posters. At 2pm, enjoy a special showing of The Sky Tonight highlighting traditional Chinese constellations.

All workshops and performances are free with general admission. Planetarium shows and Glenview historic home tours are ticketed.
