2024 CANWA Spring Festival Gala

The drums resound, echoing and reverberating, as dragons soar and tigers leap, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. The Spring Festival Gala has been successfully held and concluded. Thanks to all the volunteers, performers, sponsors, audience, and board members. Everyone gathered joyfully to celebrate this moment, meeting old friends, and making new ones is truly a joyful thing. The most distinctive feature of the gala is, of course, the Chinese flavor. Our food exudes the essence of China, and the performances are full of Chinese charm: the 24-styles of the Qianlong fan, the dance of lady Chang'an, the Yue opera "Chasing Fish," Yangge dance, and the children's dragon dance, along with ballet and piano performances loved by all. The three main features are as follows: new – the actors have rehearsed new performances; extraordinary – the dragon dance is particularly outstanding; beautiful – many props and costumes are used to convey the most beautiful blessings to everyone. Your strong support give us the motivation and confidence, make the Gala so wonderful. Thank you for your ongoing trust and support. Let's make a promise: see you again at next year's Spring Festival Gala!
