The Confucius Institute at the University of Guadalajara will host a free public festival to celebrate the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Horse, on Saturday, February 7.
The event, open to all ages, begins at 11 a.m. at the Teatro Experimental de Jalisco.
Organizers describe it as a perfect cultural outing for families and friends.
Stage performances will feature traditional and contemporary Chinese dance, live music with instruments such as the dizi and hulusi, choral singing, poetry recitals, a Tai Chi exhibition and testimonials from Mexican exchange students.
Attendees can also participate in interactive cultural workshops, including crafting traditional Chinese knots and paper-cut art of the horse zodiac.
Other highlights include trying on hanfu (traditional attire) for photos, writing Spring Festival couplets and playing games like Chinese chess and mahjong.
