The Asian New Year Festival is scheduled for Sunday, February 12, from 6-9 p.m. in the Kirkhof Center on GVSU's Allendale Campus. A dragon dance, samples of ethnic food, storytelling and entertainment are planned. The event is free and open to the public.
Connie Dang, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said this year she extended invitations to the Asian organizations in the community to not only attend the event but also to be a part of the program. Members of the Chinese Association of Grand Rapids, Asian Center, Filipino Cultural Group of Michigan and the Asian Hour, a community access television program, will participate in a cultural and educational New Year celebration.
