One of the mixed blessings of being twenty and twenty-one and even twenty-three is the conviction that nothing like this, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, has ever happened to anyone before.
On September 30, Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL) and A Joyful Adult Healthcare Center (Joyful ADH) co-hosted a celebration of mid-autumn festival at Cary Hall.
Talented singers, musicians, and dancers from Joyful ADH, New Legacy Culture Center, Angel Dance, Artisan Dance Academy (ADA), New England Wushu Academy, renowned Yue opera artist Xinfen Cai, Dance for Joy Dance Troupe, and the Lexington Historical Society brought their splendid performances to this celebration event.
Audiences appreciated the full moon, enjoyed mooncakes (a traditional pastry filled with various fillings), and shared wishes for good fortune and happiness !
This event celebrated Mid-Autumn and also gave back to the community. All proceeds from the performance and on-site services will be donated to Cary Library’s ChiRP project and the Lexington Food Pantry.

It’s what promises to be an incredible concert this October 8th at the Scottish Rite Museum.

Music fans of many traditions will be impressed and inspired by the quality of musicianship and artistry represented.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, juct once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
