Chinese New Year (February 14) |
|
The French Polynesian Chinese community celebrates the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, according to the Chinese horoscope. The program of festivities begins with the official opening ceremony at the Kanti temple of Mamao and is followed by several events including the parade of the lion through all the neighboring shops and finishes with a ball at the Chinese Philanthropic hall. A cultural day is also organized where you discover all the magic of Chinese folk culture (song and dance, martial and culinary arts). To wind it all up, there is a lantern march through the city streets to Vaiete Place where other animations have been organized.
