Dragons shall dance, in honor of their special year, and lions, too, while storyteller Barbara Wong will spin fantastical scenarios in the Stone Hollow Amphitheater.
The event, which is spanning two days, will include a few different activities. Saturday has puppet-making, led by the team from the USC Pacific Asia Museum, while the Magic Pens Art and Writing Club will add sweetness to Sunday (Field Elementary's Mandarin Dual Language Immersion Program is presenting the creative offering).
If you'd definitely like to be there for the dancing, it will happen at 11:15 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
