What type of Chinese New Year entertainment are you looking for?
With its ancient culture and intriguing traditions, the original Chinese New Year celebration was an extensive commemoration of family and prosperity that revolved around dinners and parties. Based on the Chinese New Year calendar (not the Gregorian calendar), the fun starts on New Year’s Eve with a huge family reunion dinner and progresses up to the 15th day of the year with the Lantern Festival. Many celebrations in the U.S. have been altered to better fit the Chinese-American way of life. Whether you observe the holiday with full tradition or following the U.S. adapted schedule of parties, parades and gatherings, fun and fellowship can be had by all.

Singers
Focusing on family, most traditional Chinese would have a reunion dinner during the New Year. However, those immigrants who came to America in the early 1900s started a new tradition. Host families would sponsor a Chinese New Year party and dinner for the community as a whole. Small singing ensembles are perfect for these gatherings.
