February 14 is Valentine Day and the Valentine Day in 2010 is going to be very special as Chinese New Year falls on the same day. To celebrate Chinese New Year, the Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre is proud to present the “2010 Year of the Tiger Chinese New Year Carnival” and at the same time, to celebrate Valentine Day. This event attracts a rich array of more than 20,000 visitors each year and has been supported by hundreds of volunteers and performing groups.
Traditionally, the Carnival is a 3-day event but this time, we have extended the Carnival to a 4-day (February 12 – 15, 2010) event and to prolong the fun on February 15th — the Family Day. The Carnival features performances of traditional Dragon & Lion Dance, festival music and dance, martial art demonstration, vocal singing, folk art demonstration, festival food and an indoor bazaar of more than 50 booths selling all sorts of gifts and festival items. This year, we have designed numerous interesting, fun-filing and festival-themed games that we would invite your sponsorship for public enjoyment.
As we are a non-profit organization and this event is admission free, we are inviting organizations with a commitment to promote traditional cultures to join us as Sponsors. This event represents a unique opportunity to positively communicate your company’s name, image, product and services to the general public while building goodwill with Calgary audience.
The following information provides the various options available for your consideration to join us as a Sponsor.
