Photos: The Mills at Jersey Gardens hosts 2017 Lunar New Year celebration

 

Wing Hong Yip’s Dragon Style Kung Fu Club Performance.

North Jersey shopping hot spot The Mills at Jersey Gardens held an event in celebration of the 2017 Lunar New Year Saturday, and we have all the details! 

In order to properly reflect how the holiday is honored in Chinese culture, the afternoon kicked-off with a Lion Dance. The ritual features ornately decorated lion heads dancing to the music of beating drums, clashing cymbals and resounding gongs. The dance is performed to greet and bring good luck and fortune in the new year, so we’re hoping it has a lasting effect on us here at omj! PS- 2017 is the year of the rooster.
