Main Line Chinese Culture Center

It’s the Year of the Dragon, which symbolizes great power in Chinese culture. The Main Line Chinese Culture Center's annual free Chinese New Year Gala is the largest suburban celebration of its kind in Greater Philadelphia and is enjoyed by people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Nearly 500 attended last year.

The Gala features entertainment, prizes and refreshments and is produced by MLCCC, a growing nonprofit that enriches the lives of hundreds of local children of all backgrounds through Chinese language and culture education.

Spring Festival Show runs from 1-3 p.m., featuring stage performances of song and dance by guest artists, students, teachers and parents from all cultural backgrounds.

Chinese Culture Fair runs from 3-5 p.m., including game stations and culture displays. Try your hand at the Chopsticks Contest, calligraphy and traditional paper cutting and learn about Chinese inventions, the history of tea and China today.
