GREETINGS FRIENDS!
We are deeply thrilled to introduce to you the new unity of two great events that the city of Stockton has come to know quite well. The Stockton Chinese & Vietnamese New Year Parade and The Chinese Cultural Society of Stockton’s Chinese New Year Festival has now combined together as a new entity for the benefit of this thriving community. We are pleased to announce to you that we are now the “Chinese New Year Celebration of Stockton” (CNYC). For years, many of you have asked both events to be on one day so it can be enjoyed together. It is now a reality!
On Saturday. March 6th, 2010, the city of Stockton will be the site of the biggest Chinese party in the Central Valley. The parade is anticipated to be larger than last year and will continue to energize the streets of Downtown Stockton. As for the festival, it has changed venues. Instead of the Stockton Civic Auditorium, the festival is now proud to present all the entertainment and performances at the beautifully restored Fox California/Bob Hope Theatre, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The new move to this new venue with plush seats, air-condition, and an enormous stage is bound to benefit all who come. Everyone will be able to enjoy all the vendors with beautiful merchandise and delicious food at Hunter Square.
All of us on the CNYC committee are extremely excited for Stockton to experience the “Year of the Tiger” with a fresh take on things. We hope you will bring all your friends and family to kick off the celebration with us on Saturday, March 6th, 2010. The parade begins at 10:00am, rain or shine, and the festival will follow immediately. So book it on your calendar, round up the gang, and we look forward to seeing you on the streets at the 2010 Chinese New Year Celebration!
Warmest regards,
The CNYC Stockton Committee |
