Lunar New Year Celebration

Celebrate the year of the horse with us at Mackin House on February 7 from 12pm-3pm! Learn about Lunar New Year traditions through stories and songs with Yuto Books, with story time sessions available throughout the day in three different languages (English, Mandarin, Cantonese). We will also have English and Chinese books available from Yuto Books for browsing.

There will also be crafts available throughout the day, and various snacks and drinks to try out. Stop by our kitchen during select times to chat with community member Jessica Yue and learn how you can make traditional New Year snacks at home. Also be sure to visit our decorated photoshoot space upstairs and get a Lunar New Year photo taken by our staff.

All ages and language backgrounds are welcome.
