HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I—Guests are invited to ring in the new year at the Honolulu Museum of Art on Jan. 20 for Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday: Bring the Noise!
Guests can celebrate the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Pig with an art activity hosted by the Associated Chinese University Women in Palm Courtyard.
In various cultures, noise is used to scare away evil spirits. Keiki can lean into this tradition by making their own small noisemaking piece of art (drum, tambourine or whistle.)
At 10:15am, families can watch drummers from the Taiko Center of the Pacific in Central Courtyard.
Later in the day, the Gee Yun International Martial Arts Dragon & Lion Dance Association will entertain attendees with a traditional lion dance.
See the full schedule.
