American New Year’s celebrations are now over, but many Asian ones are just beginning. Local children can enjoy them all in the fifth CelebrAsia NYC: New Year’s Festivities for Families, a three-month festival. This weekend the focus is on Korea, where a new year is also a time to honor the past. In this event at the Korea Society, children will practice the sebae, a deep bow made for elders to convey respect and good wishes. Young visitors will also learn Korean calligraphy and brush painting, play traditional games, make crafts and listen to Korean folk tales.
