Gong Xi Fa Cai! Celebrate Chinese New Year in February!

Friends,

Our borough’s diversity is our enduring strength, powered by the many immigrant communities that call Brooklyn home. In partnership with the Sino America New York Brooklyn Archway Association, I am proud to present two wonderful events in the coming weeks to celebrate the Lunar New Year and Brooklyn’s vibrant Chinese-American community.

Firstly, we are jointly hosting a Chinese New Year Cultural Temple Festival on Saturday, February 2nd from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Brooklyn Borough Hall Plaza and Columbus Park. The event will feature celebratory giveaways, children’s activities, and live cultural performances.

Additionally, on Friday, February 15th, we will be hosting a Year of the Pig celebration with celebratory giveaways, cultural performances, and a delicious taste of Chinese cuisine. The event will take place from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Brooklyn Borough Hall. To RSVP, please visit brooklyn-usa.org/chinesenewyear2019 or call (718) 802-2356.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
