Double Ninth Festival at the Museum | Vancouver

Double Ninth Festival, also known as Chongyang (重陽節), is a day for celebrating long life. Taking place on the 9th day of the 9th lunar month, common traditions for Double Ninth Festival include climbing mountains, spending time with elders, and admiring chrysanthemums. This year falling on October 11, Double Ninth Festival doubles as the official Seniors Day in China.

Join us at the museum for the Double Ninth Festival! Admire the flower of longevity, the chrysanthemum, by trying some chrysanthemum tea and making your own pressed chrysanthemum flower bookmark! 

In this family-friendly, drop-in craft activity, create a beautiful pressed chrysanthemum bookmark for yourself or gift it to a cherished elder in your life as a wish for longevity and good health.
