Welcoming the Year of The Dragon

The year of the Dragon approaches. Wood Dragon to be exact. What will this New Year bring — and how are Chinese Nashvillians preparing to celebrate?

This is a time of reflection of the previous year and anticipation for the good fortune that’s to come in the next one. All across Nashville and parts of Middle Tennessee groups are planning to welcome in the Year of the Dragon in style! Traditional dances, music, storytelling, food and fun will be taking place. And the best part? Anyone who wants to participate can.
