For the 28th year running, OCCAC offers the Chinese community an authentic celebration for Chinese New Year, as well as the chance for non-Chinese Oxfordians to learn a bit more about the culture and become better acquainted with their Chinese neighbours.
Starting with a delicious lunch, the afternoon will include a vibrant array of entertainment: Lion Dance, Acrobatics, Chinese Folk Music and Dance, Children’s Choir and Dance, Western and Chinese Musical Ensemble, Chinese New Year Song, and a charity raffle with a business class plane ticket to China as the top prize. This is a family-friendly day, with several activities especially for younger guests including an acrobatics workshop and Giant Panda Walkabout.
