This year’s Duanwu Festival was definitely one to remember, even though we celebrated through Zoom rather than in person. The number of online connections reached as high as 155, and with many families watching together, the viewership was in line with attendance for our typical picnic celebrations in years past.

Special thanks to the GNCA volunteers who put the event together: Jinggang Yin, Fang Yu, Xiuqi Zhang, Zhihong Qiao, Prince Zheng, Jing Hao, Ning Guo, Richard Mu, Dave Carini.

The pre-produced videos from both nights are embedded below. Look out for “live” versions including the host commentary in the coming weeks.

We set up a preview night to test out the technology and share some of the recent developments and new initiatives at GNCA. Viewers also enjoyed a collection of photos and video clips from previous events. Check it out here:
