Nicole Lee Co-emceed 2026 Texas Chinese Lunar New year Festive!

The Texas Lunar New Year Festival, the largest minority community event in Houston, grandly held on February 14, 2026, at the Alief Career Center. Hosted annually by the Houston International District, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the festival. U.S. Congressman Al Green and Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller attended the celebration in person to offer their congratulations.

Nicole Lee, senior from Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA), was invited to serve as one of the five emcees of the event. The youngest of them all — a 17-year-old music student with rich stage experience since elementary school — impressed the crowd of thousands with her confidence and fluent bilingual (Chinese-English) hosting during stage introductions and prize drawings, earning enthusiastic applause from the audience.

The performances kicked off with vibrant dragon and lion dances, followed by a variety of cultural shows including ethnic dances, Chinese folk music, Brazilian samba, Filipino hula, Nepalese duet dance, Indian classical dance, Peking opera, Chinese national fans dance and singing performances, creating a colorful artistic spectacle. Hourly prize drawings kept the excitement high, with large-screen TVs, iPads, and cash red envelopes being given away throughout the day. The venue was filled with joy and a strong festive atmosphere.

While artistic performances dazzled on stage, visitors enjoyed an array of international cuisines and handicraft booths offstage, attracting American visitors of all ethnic backgrounds. Everyone praised the Texas Lunar New Year Festival as an amazing event and said, “We’ll definitely come again next year!”
