Happy Lunar New Year! Celebrate at SeaWorld San Diego with Marketing Melodie + Free Ticket Giveaway
2015 has been a very busy year for me so far. I’m very grateful for being busy because it means that I’m continuing to grow and advance in my career. I have some resourceful marketing posts in the works but for now, I’d like to say Happy year of the Goat and I’d like to share another event that I am going to emcee.
SIDE NOTE– In the past few months, I have received many requests to serve as a master of ceremonies (emcee). I have really been enjoying these gigs since I am adding positive energy to the events and inspiring the crowd. The talented performers and presenters do all the work and I have the honor of introducing them. I have decided to update my speaking services to include emcee services. Check out my speaking page to get an idea of what I do as a professional speaker and now master of ceremonies. As an added bonus, when you hire me to emcee I will include marketing and promotional support to help you generate more publicity and revenue for your event.
Now back to the event I mentioned. I’m thrilled to see so many businesses honoring the Lunar New Year and I’m very excited to be a part of the 1st annual Lunar New Year Festival at Sea World San Diego this coming weekend February 28th & March 1st. SeaWorld San Diego invited me to emcee their 1st annual Lunar New Year event. I have celebrated the Lunar New Year my entire life and now I have a chance to share my tradition with many others.
If you are a SeaWorld pass holder, the event is free. Otherwise, entry to SeaWorld gets you into this special event.
Highlights of Lunar New Year at SeaWorld San Diego Include:
Chinese Acrobats of Hebei: Masters of agility and grace, the Chinese Acrobats of Hebei combine Chinese traditions, incredible acrobatics, stunning costumes, Chinese props and a beautiful soundtrack. You’ll experience lion dancing, plate spinning, hoop diving, hat juggling, contortion and chair stacking.
Community Stage (This is where you’ll find me!): Located just east of the Explorer’s Reef™ the community stage will be brimming with cultural entertainment including taiko drummers, lion dancers and fan dancers. There will be games for kids, and at the Wish Tree, guests can write a conservation wish on a red ribbon.
Asian-inspired culinary offerings: SeaWorld’s Lunar New Year Festival area will be brimming with Asian-inspired food choices! Soup Bowl Hut: duck lumpia, vegetable spring rolls, miso ramen soup and pot stickers; Tea Hut: shaved snow, sweet dorayaki griddle cakes and green tea; Stir Fry Cart: stir fry noodles and chow mein; Grill & Bao Cart: turkey legs with hoisin sauce and bao sandwiches (five-spice pork belly bun with pickled kimchee).
Animal visits: Trainers will bring some of SeaWorld’s ambassador animals to the Lunar New Year Festival area for up-close encounters with guests. Animals guests may see include Asian small-clawed river otters, an Asian water monitor and a Eurasian eagle owl.
Red envelopes with surprises: In keeping with the tradition of wishing prosperity and good fortune to family and friends, each guest who comes through the turnstiles during Lunar New Year will receive a red envelope with a surprise gift inside. Gifts will vary from guest to guest and will include free or discounted culinary samplings and premium seating at Mission Bay Theater for live performances of the Chinese Acrobats of Hebei.
If you are interested in attending, I would love to see you. I have a couple pairs of tickets to give away for Saturday and Sunday. Leave me a comment on what your Chinese Zodiac animal sign is and the day you prefer to attend. Winners will be notified on Friday.
