Library Meeting Room

Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday honoring courage and loyalty.

Children will learn the legend behind the festival, explore its customs, and discover how families celebrate through stories. Participants will make scented sachets, which were believed in ancient times to protect children from illness and bad spirits during the hot summer months.

Children under 8 years old must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. 

Space is limited, please register your child.

This program is presented by the Center for Cultural and Creative Exchange.
