Come celebrate Chinese New Year, the Year of the Horse, with us! Learn about this special holiday with fun and educational performances from our partners at Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center. We will also be treated to a special Lion Dance! New this year: We will be having a hybrid meal model where a takeout Chinese meal will be served before the performances (doors open at 12:30 pm), so participants can either choose to eat then or bring the meal home for later. Limited vegetarian meals are available, so please specify at signup. Please note that you must stay for the program in order to get a meal; you may not take your meal home at time of entry. Meal cost will be $7 at the door. Raffles for various items will also be held at the end of the performances (1 ticket for $1 or 6 tickets for $5). This celebration is co-sponsored by the Brookline Senior Center and the Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center.

Due to limited space, registration is required. Interested participants can register by calling 617-730-2770.
