“CELEBRATE LUNAR” The Year Of The Rabbit 2023
It was a bright sunny day for everyone to enjoy the wonderful Lunar Celebration on Feb 4th 2023 at the XL Soccer World in the Lake Nona area of Orlando, Florida. The event celebrated the “Year of The Rabbit.” People came out in great numbers to be a part of this spectacular event with their family and friends. Seeing all of the different cultures coming together in one grand celebration of Asian culture was truly amazing.
All the performances on stage were mesmerizing; acts included Taiko Drumming, Martial Arts demonstrations, K-Pop Dance Groups, a Tai Chi demonstration, a showcase of modern and traditional Asian gowns, Live Music, an introduction of the winner and runners up for Miss Vietnam Florida 2023, and let’s not forget the Traditional Lion Dancing. Every act was entertaining to watch. During the martial arts demonstration, random children were invited to come up on stage to participate; it was very inspiring for the kids and a happy moment for all of the spectators.
The event goers got to enjoy a lot of things behind the main stage as well. There were many local community market vendors, a book signing with the illustrator of Lucky Cat and all of the tasty Asian food from local restauranteurs. All of the kids had lots to do with carnival style games, Soccer Darts, a kids craft station and the Photo-Ops with Shang-chi, Mulan & Raya. It was a well-planned day for everyone who attended, young and old. Thank you to Maxine Sudarma www.madewithmax.com for putting together this amazing event. Also thank you to Mick Haupt Photography for all the beautiful photos.
