2024 Tzu Chi Lantern Festival in Woodford

The Lantern Festival 元宵節 is celebrated on the 15th day of the Lunar Chinese New Year, marking the end of the celebration.

It’s  a time when people come together to celebrate the festival, enjoying  the sight of vibrant lantern displays, solving lantern riddles and  eating Tang Yuan (湯圓), a traditional sweet dumpling made of glutinous  rice, with various sweet fillings. These joyous gatherings, steeped in  cultural heritage, also provide an opportunity for reflection on the  past year, expression of gratitude for blessings received, and  anticipation for the upcoming year.

Come along and listen to  traditional songs whilst laughing your socks off to our comedians! See  yourselves to our plant-based Asian delicacies, with tea and coffee available.

Feast your eyes on:

• Classical Water Sleeves –the Jing Hong Dance’

• Lunar New Year greetings & singing

• The magnificent ‘fiery’ Dragon Dance

• The playful Third Crown Prince

• Taichi Performance

We are TRIPLING the fun!
