Pearl S. Buck House To Welcome Year Of The Horse In Bucks Co.

HILLTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Pearl S. Buck International and the Central Bucks Chinese American Association are teaming up to host a Lunar New Year celebration on Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Pearl Buck House at 520 Dublin Road.

The family-friendly celebration with events for all ages is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will mark the arrival of the Year of the Horse.

According to Chinese astrology, individuals born during the Year of the Horse are confident, agreeable, and responsible, although they also tend to dislike being reined in by others. They’re fit and intelligent, adoring physical and mental exertion; they’re also decisive, but easily swayed and impatient.

Those who attend Saturday's event will enjoy live performances, music, and various crafts. Activities include traditional paper cutting, origami, calligraphy, and face painting. There will also be a tea ceremony demonstration and a display of traditional Asian clothing.

Games for children are planned, alongside opportunities to learn how to use chopsticks and receive Year of the Horse balloon animals. Food vendors such as TeaVa Rolls and Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee of Richboro will be present.

The event also includes tours of the Pearl S. Buck House, highlighting the humanitarian, cross-cultural, and educational legacy of Pearl S. Buck. Visitors can also view the art exhibit titled "Visions of East and West" throughout the museum.

The collaboration between Pearl S. Buck International and the Central Bucks Chinese American Association seeks to educate the community on who celebrates the Lunar New Year and how it is observed. It aims to provide an engaging way for families to learn about the traditions.
