The Double Ninth Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday, falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month each year. The number "nine" is regarded as the largest digit, symbolizing longevity and endurance. That's why this festival is also known as the "Senior Citizens' Festival," embodying the profound cultural values of respecting, honoring, and cherishing the elderly.

Warmth accompanies lasting bonds, as we welcome this year’s Chongyang. This weekend, we’d like to invite you to pause from the rush of life and join us for a warm cultural gathering—a moment reserved for stories, for connection, and for the respected seniors of North Station Community. They’ve thoughtfully prepared traditional music performances, foil burning art sessions, and festive tea snacks—all waiting for you to come and expand your social circle!
