Join Us for a celebration in honor of the Lunar New Year!
The City of College Park will honor our Asian American residents by hosting a Lunar New Year’s Celebration on February 1, 2025, from 10am -1pm at City Hall (7401 Baltimore Ave).
All are invited to come together and celebrate the vibrant cultures, traditions, and contributions of our Asian American community! This event will feature traditional music, dances, lion dancing, martial arts demonstrations, drums, crafts for children, a book giveaway for children in attendance and food from local Asian eateries. Performances will take place every thirty minutes inside City Hall. In addition, the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Maryland will display poems that highlight a variety of Asian American student experiences. These creative works emerge from projects generated from classes on Asian American foodways, literature, and other courses that focus on race, identity, migration, and intergenerational relationships in the United States from the multiple viewpoint of Asian Americans. This display will also highlight pieces from the Program's literary journal, Fresh Pages.

This event is a chance to connect, learn, and celebrate the rich diversity that makes College Park a unique and welcoming community. Bring your friends and family for an unforgettable experience! Admission is free but space is limited- register in advance at www.collegeparkmd.gov/lunarnewyear.
Free parking will be available during the event in the Downtown College Park Parking Garage. For questions or additional information, please email [email protected].
