It’s the Year of the Dog and Hillsdale Shopping Center is hosting a 2018 Chinese New Year celebration. Festivities begin with Lion Dancers, in vivid, colorful, dragon-like costumes performing their traditional dance, accompanied by music and heart-pounding beating drums. A Chinese calligrapher will be on hand to pen ancient characters on commemorative cards. Kids can make customary lanterns and receive red envelopes symbolizing energy, happiness and good wishes.
