COLORADO SPRINGS — It's the Year of the Snake!
Celebrate the Lunar New Year at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum on Saturday, February 8 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The event, in collaboration with the Refugees + Immigrants United and Filipino American Community of Southern Colorado, will showcase different cultural dances, crafts, and community activity booths.
