A message from CNYCA President:

Once again, while the whole world is welcoming a brand New Year, all the Asians are preparing to celebrate one of the largest and most important Chinese traditions – the Chinese New Year Festival. 

Here in the Capitol region of California, the Chinese New Year Culture Association (CNYCA) has been working diligently since May 2010 to prepare for this big community event on February 12, 2011, at CSUS University Union, Sacramento.   

Our celebration includes traditional lion dances, martial arts, kung fu, Tai Chi, music, cultural dance performances, Chinese painting and arts, singing contest, children’s games, and other fun cultural activities and exhibits.  Many local businesses and organizations set up vendor booths to present their goods and services to the public at this event. 

Our committee members cover the whole Northern California regions, including all cities surrounding Sacramento area and Davis.  Please visit our website www.CNYCA.net for more information on our organization and sample of past year programs.  We invite you to sign up on our website to volunteer and participate in this meaningful event.  This even is fun and will put you right in the heart of the communities.
