Chinese New Year Festival

Chinese New Year Festival in the Washington DC metropolitan area is sponsored by Asian Community Service Center (ACSC) annually. ACSC is a volunteer-based independent non-profit organization in DC area (and anyone is welcome to join ACSC).  Currently, ACSC volunteers are mostly Chinese Americans who have been living in the United States for many years. We hope that our children will keep in their memory the cultural roots and traditions of the Chinese New Year when they grow up. In addition, DC area is a culturally diverse community, and various celebrations from other cultures have motivated us to share the essence of Chinese culture with the local community. We would like children from all over the world to have an opportunity to experience the unique aspects of Chinese culture and traditions of five thousand years. Every year we promote a theme around the traditional Chinese values. The Chinese New Year is also the time for the entire family to gather together and give each other blessings to start a new year. We sincerely extend our invitation to all DC area residents to celebrate the Chinese New Year with us, to return to the traditions and to embrace a bright future.
