Activities include Chinese calligraphy, Chinese knots, Chinese paper cutting, traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, Chinese tea ceremonies, red-envelope workshops, ping pong, face-painting, dog figure-making workshops and fairground rides.
Performances/demos include Chinese fashion show, Lion and Unicorn dancers, Chinese traditional dance, Qi Gong and Tai Chi demos, traditional Chinese sugar-painting and more.
Stalls will offer traditional Chinese food (hot and cold), plus drinks, books, and special crafts and goods from Yunan.
DCNYF is excited to welcome some very special international guests to this year’s event, so make sure to mark the dates in your diary!
