Despite claims that Hot & Noisy Mahjong Socials wouldn’t return to Chinatown after the end of last summer, the Youth Collaborative for Chinatown (now Chinatown Generations Society) and Bagua Artist Association have come together to bring the mahjong back on Saturday, February 17. Join in the fun and celebrate the new year with mahjong, writing traditional decorations 揮春 (fai1 cun1 | huī chūn), ring toss, crafts, games, and karaoke!
Now at a new location (Dragon Boat BC’s future Chinatown Hub at 122 E Pender Street), and with a longer run-time (from 2-9pm), this Lunar New Year Mahjong Social aims to extend the 熱鬧 (jit6 naau6 | rè nào) energy beyond New Year’s Day and the Parade.
