The 15th Annual Lunar New Year Gala will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2011 at the Bob Bullock Museum at 1800 Congress Avenue. Celebrate with us as we look toward a prosperous new year with our theme “Leap into Prosperity,” in reference to the Year of the Rabbit, the Chinese Zodiac’s luckiest sign.
Featured is a traditional, lively lion dance, the Parade of Nations, Korean music performed on the guyagum by Ms. Mi Seon Nam, martial arts demonstrations and other cultural entertainment.
Enjoy food from local favorite Asian restaurants including Satay, Get Sum Dim Sum, Clay Pit, Bombay Bistro, Benihana and more! A cash bar will also be available.
Come away with silent and live auction treasures, premiering our Art Show! Bid on popular items such as ACL tickets, handmade Asian crafts and a one-of-a-kind “Leap into Prosperity” quilt from exquisite Asian fabrics.
Comingle with local business and community leaders as we award our annual Business Awards. Past recipients include Judge Ramey Ko, Chinatown Center developer Alex Tan, Dell, Tokyo Electron, and Vinson & Elkins.
Have a blast while supporting a great cause! A portion of proceeds from the event go toward the Texas Asian Foundation’s scholarships to Asian American high school students.
