T&T’s Chi­nese com­mu­ni­ty cel­e­brat­ed the Chi­nese New Year with Tem­ple Fair 2025 at the An­chor­age in Ch­aguara­mas last Sat­ur­day.

The cel­e­bra­tions, mark­ing the first full moon of 2025, are based on the lu­nar cal­en­dar.

It is the most im­por­tant hol­i­day in Chi­na and is wide­ly cel­e­brat­ed in South Ko­rea, Viet­nam, and coun­tries with sig­nif­i­cant Chi­nese pop­u­la­tions.

The Chi­nese zo­di­ac cal­en­dar is best de­scribed as a 12-year cy­cle rep­re­sent­ed by dif­fer­ent an­i­mals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rab­bit, Drag­on, Snake, Horse, Goat, Mon­key, Roost­er, Dog, and Pig. 2025 is the year of the Snake.

Cul­tur­al ac­tiv­i­ties at the Tem­ple Fair in­clud­ed drum­ming, songs, the pop­u­lar drag­on and li­on dances per­formed by mem­bers of the Chi­nese Art and Cul­ture So­ci­ety and drag­on boat rac­ing. Chi­nese cui­sine, arts and craft were on sale.
