Date & Time
2016 is the year of the red monkey and the 4,713th Chinese Year. For the New Year celebration at Coe Hall, the rooms will be decorated with over 500 red Chinese lanterns. In Chinese tradition, red is regarded as a symbol of energy, happiness and good luck. Coe Hall will be decorated with fruits and flowers traditionally associated with Chinese New Year celebrations, including oranges, which look like the sun and therefore symbolize happiness. At Coe Hall there will be many Chinese New Year celebration performances and activities all weekend.
