Live storyteller
Spend Sunday with storyteller Clara Yen. When she was growing up, she listened to the stories her parents told about their childhoods in China. Clara re-creates those memories for herself, for her parents, and for her listeners by delicately weaving family lore with folk tales, blending English and Mandarin for an immersive experience all her own.

We’re ready for a roaring good time! Don’t be dragon your feet–all of these amazing activities and performances are included with admission for the day so snare your tickets now and get ready to slay a weekend of play!

Be sure to wear red and luck will follow you! We can’t wait to see you!
