To celebrate the first day of
Chinese New Year and welcome the year of the Dragon, The Meadows School will
perform the traditional dragon parade throughout The Forum Shops at
Caesars. The cast of singers and dancers
includes 120 Meadows students – 60 from kindergarten and 60 from fifth grade plus
the school’s very special guests, founder and Mayor Carolyn Goodman and her
husband former Mayor Oscar Goodman.
Led by seniors Tiffany Fong
and Richard Lee who have previously participated in the parade at The Forum
Shops when they were in kindergarten and fifth grade, Meadows students will
perform a Chinese dragon parade featuring two large and colorful dragons
(powered by students), red and gold costumes (Chinese colors of joy), and drums
and firecrackers (to keep evil spirits away).
As they wind their way through the premier retail destination, they will
stop in front of the Fountain of the Gods to perform. This is the 16th year the school’s students
have conducted a Chinese New Year performance at The Forum Shops.
Monday, Jan. 23 – Parade
begins at approximately 10:00 a.m.
The parade takes place on the
first day of the Chinese New Year and is considered a lucky day for merchants
for it is the birthday for the Chinese god of wealth.
3500 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Performers will begin the
parade near Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, continuing throughout
the entire shopping center and stopping for a primary performance at the
Fountain of the Gods in front of Escada.
Mayor Carolyn Goodman will make also make remarks at this time. The
parade will then continue, ending at The Forum Shops lower valet area.
