The highlight of the event will be a spectacular lion dance performance by Singapore Yiwei Athletic Association, which will attract a large crowd of spectators. The lion dance is a traditional Chinese art form that symbolizes good luck, prosperity, and happiness. The dancers will wear colorful costumes and move in sync with the rhythmic drumming and cymbals.

After the lion dance, the participants will be invited to visit various Asian-owned small businesses in the Forest Hills area, such as Fay Da Bakery, Nan Xiang Express Soup Dumplings, Dream City, In Style Hair Beauty Salon, Jade Eatery & Lounge, Prince Tea House, and MK Vision Center. The businesses will offer special discounts, samples, and giveaways to the customers.

At the bank, there will also be cultural performances and activities, such as a LEGO dragon display, a calligraphy workshop, a lantern-making session, and a lucky draw. The event will be a great opportunity for the community to learn more about Asian culture and support local businesses.

The organizers will thank the Forest Hills Chamber of Commerce, Queens Community Board 6, NYPD 112th precinct, and the elected officials for their support and cooperation. They will also express their gratitude to the volunteers, performers, and sponsors who made the event possible.

The Lunar New Year celebration at Ridgewood Savings Bank will be a success and a memorable experience for everyone who attends. It will be a wonderful way to welcome the Year of the Dragon and share the joy of the festive season.
