Chinese New Year Gala

The Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year, is the beginning of a new year in the traditional Chinese Calendar. Every year, the Chinese Students and Scholars Association in Cambridge (CAM-CSSA) holds the Cambridge Chinese New Year Gala at the Corn Exchange to celebrate this most important traditional Chinese festival with students, scholars, and residents in Cambridge, as well as people from other areas in the UK. The Gala features unique Chinese traditional decorations and breathtaking performances as well as gorgeous stage and sound effects.

The year 2023 is the Year of Rabbit. The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. The Gala will again feature grand performances such as traditional Chinese dance, traditional Chinese Opera, Xiangsheng (crosstalk), Sketch, etc. Most of the performances are prepared by Chinese students and scholars from the University of Cambridge. Famous Chinese singers and celebrities will also join and give performances at the Gala. Whether you are Chinese or not, you are welcome to join us for this special occasion.
