Omaha Event: Chinese New Year-Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!

Today was the Chinese New Year  celebration in Omaha. This Omaha event is one I look forward to every year.

This year, the Chinese New Year Gala was back at Westside Middle School.

The Confucius Institute is a great place to start learning Chinese.

This cute adorable pig bank was so hard to not take home. Unfortunately, I could not carry it. Too many pictures needed taking.

This beautiful screen back drop adds elegance to any selfie and photo keepsake for attending the event.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha had a nice booth.

The Omaha Performing Arts had a booth also and were fun to talk with.

Another of my favorites- Lion Dance!

This was beautiful and the first time I saw this.

The grand event was held in the auditorium. There were two new features that I enjoyed very much. This included two of my favorite musical instruments and Sichuan Face-Changing Opera.

The grand event begins!

Pipa:Ceilia Liu

Erhu:Xiabo Li

Sichuan Face-Changing Opera:Weiqi Zhong

A repeat favorite was the opera singer, Lily Zhang

More pictures to come and contact information from some of the vendor booths!

Omaha Event: Chinese New Year Gala

From our friends at NCA....UPDATE: EVENT IS SOLD OUT *

Dear NCA Members and Friends,

This year the Nebraska Chinese Association (NCA, formerly OCCA) will once again host the Chinese New Year Gala. The event is an opportunity to celebrate the most important holiday in the Chinese culture.  We want to bring together the local community to mix, mingle and enjoy a great day as we celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Each year, our Gala have attracted over a thousand individuals and many local businesses. The program showcases Chinese cultural activities, traditional Chinese cuisine, and a marvelous stage performance. This year, our special performers will include the magic of Sichuan opera’s face-changing artist and other famous Chinese performing artists from Los Angles and Denver.  In addition to the Chinese culture performances, there will be an exhibit hall for the local business sponsors to display their products and services.
