Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this month I photographed the 2018 Lunar New Year celebration at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to last year, I knew that there would be a lot of showcases set up around the event, and some fun shows to see. This time, they held it on the ground floor of Fashion Court. Unlike the Concourse where I last photographed this event, the two floors allowed for more people to view the events from above and below.

During the shows, I was able to move on the escalators to both areas. Since the crowd was attracted to all the sound and colors, it was packed soon after everything started. Surrounding the showcase floor, booths about Chinese culture were setup. I saw my friend Victoria Wu making her Mei Mei Fine Teas. Overall, it was a fun display celebrating the Year of the Dog!
