WESTFORD — The following release was shared on behalf of the Westford Academy Asian Culture Club for publication.

Westford Academy’s Asian Culture Club, in conjunction with Chelmsford Chinese Language School, will be bringing back a beloved tradition since 2017: the Lunar New Year Celebration. This year’s celebration, celebrating the Year of the Dragon, will be held on February 10, 2024. 

The event includes a dinner catered from Sichuan Palace, a local authentic Chinese restaurant. There will also be activities for adults and children of all ages, a traditional Asian show that includes a dragon dance done by professional dancers from the Chinese Folk Art Workshop Boston, and an on-site raffle that includes many goodies. One of the event’s biggest sponsor is Yami, an Asian ecommerce site that will be supplying raffle prizes as well as prizes for a fun game in the cafeteria.  

The Lunar New Year Celebration first started in 2017 by a group of students with the then Mandarin Club and has since flourished. The club, which has since become the Asian Culture Club, continued the tradition every year, with only a brief 3-year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. It returned last year to great success. 

Tickets start at $25 for adults, which is a combination ticket that includes dinner, show, and activities. There are special discounts for Westford Academy students, Youth K-8th grade, and seniors 65+. Preschoolers are free.
