SUMMARY:Celebrate Lunar New Year at Metropolis at Metrotown
DESCRIPTION:Welcome the Year of the Dragon at Metropolis at Metrotown! From February 9-24\, BC’s largest shopping centre will be transformed into a celebratory hub for the Lunar New Year! With a myriad of live performances\, fun workshops\, and traditional displays\, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss! \nFrom February 9-24\, treat yourself and your loved ones to a day of shopping. Spend a lucky $288\, and receive a $25 gift card and gift under the cherry blossom tree in the Grand Court. Pick a red pocket before you head home and inside you’ll find the gift card\, a retail voucher\, along with a memento celebrating the Year of the Dragon. For every red pocket received\, Metropolis at Metrotown will also donate $5 to Angels on Earth Society. The Burnaby-based charity provides culture education to students at no cost. \nFor those who want to experience traditional displays of Lunar New Year celebrations\, join us on February 14 for a lively Lion Dance performance held in the Grand Court at 10am. Follow the lion as it parades throughout the shopping centre to bring good luck and prosperity! \nOn February 16 from 12-2pm\, visitors can experience a live concert in the Grand Court featuring the guzheng – a traditional Chinese instrument. Plenty of photo opportunities will be available with the Lucky Buddha as he hands out red envelopes. \nIt’s never a celebration without delicious food. Metropolis at Metrotown will hold culinary workshops on February 17 throughout the day (11am\, 12:30pm\, 2pm and 3:30pm). Learn how to prepare traditional Lunar New Year meals like lucky long-life noodles. On February 24\, watch a dumpling eating contest\, dance to traditional and K-pop music\, and learn how to lion dance.
