Chinese New Year Celebration

HVA, the Hastings Food Network and St Michaels Hospice were delighted to support the Hastings Chinese Association in hosting their Age Friendly Chinese New Year celebration.

Attendees enjoyed handmade sesame-filled sweet dumplings, before watching fan dances and hearing traditional songs, as well as learning how the Chinese Zodiac characters came to be chosen. We then sang Happy New Year to each other, in both Chinese and English. After the performances guests were treated to delicious food from local restaurant Yi Pin. 

It was a fantastic celebration, bringing together older people and their families from diverse sections of our community. Thanks to all who attended to celebrate with us, and thank you to Art in the Park for decorating the beautiful round paper lanterns you see in the photos.

Happy Chinese New Year to you all!
