Lunar New Year Festival Set For January 30th
QUINCY, MA ―
More than 8,000
people are expected at North Quincy High School on Saturday, January 30th from
1pm to 7pm for one of the biggest Lunar New Year Festivals in the region. Free
and open to the public, the festival will follow a street market theme. The
snow date is scheduled for Sunday, January 31st.
Hosted by Quincy
Asian Resources (QARI), the 28th Annual Quincy Lunar New Year celebration
will debut a new format titled the QARI
New Year Market & Food Festival. The
festival will open with a traditional Lion Dance at 1p.m., followed by hours of
live entertainment, local vendors, a culinary competition and interactive games
for people of all backgrounds and cultures to enjoy.
This year’s new format will still include free live entertainment and
will also feature an entirely new concept—free karaoke run by a professional DJ
in the NQHS auditorium. On top of this, there will be a New Year Market that is
inspired by the night markets found in Asia, which will feature retail vendors
selling traditional goods for New Years and craft retailers from local artists
and businesses. Additionally, there will be a food festival where Asian local
food vendors will compete in a Stanley Cup-style contest that allows visitors
to purchase food using a carnival-styled ticketing system and voting for their
favorite one. The last change will include a section devoted to game booths
designed, organized and run by the QARI Youth Service Corps.
The festival is
part of the global celebration of the Lunar Year of the Monkey. Occupying the
9th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the spirit of the monkey symbolizes such character traits as creativity,
intelligence, curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness.
The entire festival
is free to the public thanks to Presenting Sponsor South Cove Community Health
Center, along with dozens of other businesses, community organizations, and
government and social service agencies.
Free parking and
easy access from the Red line at the North Quincy MBTA near North Quincy High
School, a large food court featuring a food festival competition, and more than
100 volunteers from the community will help to make this an event you will
enjoy and remember.
In the event of bad
weather, the event may be rescheduled for January 31st with announcements on
QARI’s Facebook page and local media
channels. Information is available at
www.quincyasianresources.org.
