We invite you and your family to enjoy a virtual festive display of cultural entertainment and Lunar New Year traditions – the dragon dance and feeding of the lions. The event features a cultural performance from Grammy Award-winning artist Abigail Washburn and world-famous guzheng musician Wu Fei. Guests will have an opportunity to make a wish for prosperity, happiness and longevity as we honor the tradition of the wishing tree.

Special greetings will be shared from UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman, UCI Social Sciences Dean Bill Maurer, UCI Vice Chancellor of Advancement Brian Hervey and community partner South Coast Plaza.
