Everyone is invited to celebrate the Lunar New Year at the 2nd annual Southlake Spring Festival in Southlake Town Square on January 21!
The Southlake community is hosting its 2nd annual Southlake Spring Festival on Saturday, January 21, 2023! The festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Southlake Town Square, located near 1400 E. Southlake Boulevard, Southlake, TX 76092. Join the festivities on Lunar New Year's Eve for an afternoon of delicious food, cultural performances, and family-friendly activities showcasing the unique cultures of China, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan.
The name Spring Festival, the celebration for the start of the new lunar year in many East Asian countries, is rooted in the lunisolar calendar. In traditional East Asian lunisolar calendars, used primarily for agricultural purposes, a year is divided into 24 solar terms (see the calendar to the right). The first solar term of a lunar year is called the 'Start of Spring,' signifying an increase in sunlight for the northern hemisphere of the Earth and the beginning of warmer temperatures. After celebrating the Spring Festival, a new cycle of agricultural activities begins. 
January 21 is Lunar New Year's Eve, and Southlake Spring Festival has so much in store to celebrate. There will be several photo opportunities to help make every moment memorable, and lots to do! Activities include learning how to write one's name in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese, learning about a traditional tea ceremony, watching cultural performances on the stage, participating in the dragon parade, taking a photo with the lion mascot, and engaging in a variety of artistic crafts!
At Southlake Spring Festival, you can learn much more about lunar/solar New Year activities in many East Asian cultures! For more information about the event, visit the "Southlake Spring Festival" on Facebook.
September is our favorite month at the Southlake Senior Activity Center because it’s National Senior Center Month!
National Senior Center Month is the perfect opportunity to showcase the vital work senior centers do while celebrating our outstanding members. Last Friday, the Southlake Senior Activity Center hosted a Luncheon with a Taste of Follies to celebrate this month-long recognition with our members.
As always, it takes a village to create these world-class events for our seniors, and this Luncheon was no different. Senior Center members enjoyed a delicious lasagna lunch! Three lucky members also won raffle prizes generously sponsored by The Carlyle at Stonebridge Park. Volunteers from the Young Men’s Service League served our members with the utmost care. Our Senior Activity Staff worked hard all month long ensuring our members felt appreciated and loved.
After enjoying a hearty meal, our seniors experienced a phenomenal performance by the Taste of the Follies, the traveling ensemble group from DFW’s Spectacular Follies. The performance was one to remember.
The show included guaranteed crowd-pleasers from Broadway’s greatest hits such as, “Cabaret” from Cabaret, “Razzle Dazzle” from Chicago, “Hopelessly Devoted to You” from Grease, and “On the Street Where you Live,” from My Fair Lady. Country hits from Patsy Cline to John Denver made our seniors sing along, while two incredible tap dance numbers had the whole room tapping their feet! The best part of the performance? Every member of the cast was 55 years or better!
The show was a wonderful reminder that no matter what age you are, it's never too late to pursue your passions and live an active lifestyle!
Friday’s Luncheon was a celebration of life, music, and community. Gathering the community together to create life-long memories with our Senior Center members is the highlight of our jobs!
While we don’t need to wait until next September to celebrate our seniors again, National Senior Center Month is our favorite excuse to go big!
