“Culture of China Festival of Spring” Chinese Acrobatic Grand Performance
The United States of America is a multi-cultural country. With the increase in popularity of Chinese culture in recent years, the Chinese Lunar Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year, has been regarded as an important holiday in American society and celebrated not only in Chinese communities but also by the whole country.
Organized by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of P.R. China and the China Overseas Exchange Association, a high-profile celebration show, “Culture of China, Festival of Spring,” has become an annual event for the overseas Chinese communities to celebrate the Spring Festival. Since its debut in 2009, “Culture of China, Festival of Spring” event has been successfully held in thirty-six cities of sixteen countries and regions and received numerous applause from the local Chinese communities and mainstream society by its spectacular performance.
As the sole event sponsor in the Southern California area, Chinese Culture Development Center of the China Press is proud to invite the famous Guangzhou Soldier Acrobatic Troupe to visit Los Angeles in 2011 and bring a new episode of “Culture of China, Festival of Spring” show to the American public. Known as one of the best acrobatic troupes in China, Guangzhou Soldier Acrobatic Troupe will present its world-class and award-winning acrobatic programs to audience in San Francisco, Los Angeles, North Carolina, New York, Washington D.C., New Jersey, and Vancouver in the coming Spring Festival. We believe the 2011 “Culture of China, Festival of Spring” event will bring our audience in Southern California the most amazing enjoyment and also extend greetings and best wishes from China to the local community.
