      Argyle Lunar New Year Celebration
      Saturday, January 28th, 2023
      12:00-4:00pm (parade kick-off at 1:00pm)

      Join Uptown United and 48th Ward Alderman Harry Osterman on Argyle Street in 2023 as Uptown continues its annual tradition going back 40+ years of celebrating the Lunar New Year! To welcome the Year of the Rabbit, we’ll be hosting the Lunar New Year Parade on Saturday January 28th (kick-off at 1:00pm sharp at Argyle & Winthrop) featuring 20+ local community groups, cultural institutions, dancers and performers!  In addition, a number of local organizations are planning pop-ups with family-friendly activities that day between 12:00-4:00pm.  

      Click here for the Event Page and full details on this year's event!

      LUNAR NEW YEAR PROGRAMMING:

      Bezazian Branch, 1226 W. Ainslie Street
      Welcome the Lunar New Year with a special story time and craft in advance of the annual Uptown parade. We’ll share rabbit-themed stories and rhymes. Then, make rabbit ear headbands or rabbit doodles with glasses! Immediately following, take a quick walk east to join Uptown United on Argyle Street as we continue the annual tradition of celebrating the Lunar New Year. For kids 2 and up with their caregivers. Register online here!
       

      A THEATRICAL EXHIBIT:

      12:30 – 4:00 pm
      TimeLine Theatre Company hosted at Chinese Mutual Aid Association
      1016 W. Argyle Street
      Stop by CMAA to peruse a special exhibit from TimeLine Theatre Company, celebrating the story of Afong Moy, the first Chinese woman to arrive in the United States. Explore information about Afong Moy’s life in the 19th century and how her experiences resonate today, and view photos of TimeLine’s recent production about her—The Chinese Lady by Lloyd Suh—and behind-the-scenes of the design that brought it to life, including a costume from the show.  Plus, learn more about TimeLine’s future new home in Uptown! Envisioned as far more than a theatre, this new neighborhood facility will be a welcoming gathering space for entertainment, education, and community engagement.
