The Indianapolis Chinese Community Center Inc. kicked off the holiday at Noblesville High School with plenty of festivities for the occasion.“The Lunar New Year is one of, if not biggest holiday in Chinese culture,” the event’s host, Ava Luo, said. “Families are gathering and bringing their kids to celebrate.”
Luo says the event serves as a space where the Chinese community in central Indiana can gather and celebrate as a family. “Typically, people in China will return home for the holiday to celebrate with their families.
