Dong Zhi is the shortest day and longest night of the year and is a time when friends and family gather together, exchange gifts, and eat, drink, and laugh long into the deep, dark night to mark the rebirth of yang qualities of light and warmth as winter waxes and spring approaches. Enjoy a magical celebration of Dong zhi at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sun Classical Chinese Garden & Public Park as we host the Secret Lantern Society's 13th Annual Winter Solstice Festival for Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside from 6:30 – 10:00pm.
