Chinese New Year Celebration in Harvard Square

Sunday, February 20th
1:00-4:00pm
1236 Mass Ave, Cambridge
FREE Event

2011 is the year of the Rabbit and the 56th Anniversary of the Hong Kong in Harvard Square!
As usual, Massachusetts Avenue from the Hong Kong to Yen Chang will be festooned with gorgeous red and gold silk lanterns hanging from our wrought iron lampposts as we prepare for our grand annual Chinese New Year procession through Harvard Square and our cultural 'Open House' at the Hong Kong!

Meet us for a Lion Dance around our lantern-bedecked oak tree in Winthrop Park (corner of JKF and Mount Auburn) and then join our Lion Dance Parade over to the Hong Kong. The Lion Dance Parade will start at 1:30 p.m.

From 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. several generations of the Lee Family will continue their tradition of community outreach by welcoming the public into 'Kong' for a special cultural open house. The Hong Kong is a beloved landmark and for decades has served as the gateway to the heart of the Square for students and visitors alike. The Hong Kong's steady presence adds to the vibrant cultural diversity that one finds upon entering Harvard Square.
