{Chinese New Years Festival in Colorado Springs. Photo: cscci.org} Happy New Year! No, not that New Year, the Chinese one! It’s time for the 19th annual Chinese New Year Celebration at the City Auditorium in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs Chinese New Year DancersThe Chinese New Year celebration originates from a lunar calendar that begins with the new moon and falls on January, 25, 2020. This year’s Chinese New Year Festival is held on Saturday, January 18th, 2020. For the Chinese, the year is 4717 according to the traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar and it’s time to celebrate! This ancient celebration has been going on for longer than there has been written language and is shrouded in myth, legend, and tradition.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, it’s the year of the Rat, one of the 12 animals traditionally associated with specific years, and if you were born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020, your a rat too so it’s kind of a celebration for you. (Other animals are welcome too, of course!)

Performances will include traditional Chinese dancing, some pretty amazing yo-yo demonstrations, Kung-Fu exhibitions, and an array of Chinese musical performances, all on the Main Stage. The “Teahouse” provides visitors a chance to chill out and relax while learning the beautiful art of calligraphy, learning to play mahjong, and learning to play “Go”, the traditional Chinese version of checkers.
