DRAGON BBQ AND BROADWAY CASINO PREPARE FOR MOON FESTIVAL CELEBRATIONS

Broadway Plaza to celebrate a traditional Chinese festival

Visitors to Broadway Plaza at Five Ways will be able to celebrate one of the most important dates in the Chinese calendar next Sunday 14 September.

Oriental restaurant Dragon BBQ and Broadway Casino are joining together to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival. Celebrations will occur throughout the day at Broadway Plaza in order to mark this traditional Chinese Mid- Autumn Festival.

Dragon BBQ will be offering a special menu throughout the day to tantalise the taste buds, and will be giving a free gift of a traditional Chinese lantern to all children dining at the restaurant.  Other festivities will include a free Chinese buffet courtesy of Dragon BBQ which will be served at Broadway Casino at midnight along with traditional Moon Cake synonymous with the Festival. 

The Chinese Moon Festival is deeply imbedded in the Chinese culture and is one of their most prestigious traditional events.  The occasion is well known for romance as well as family reunions, and is said to portray the perfect world. Activities on the day include watching the full moon, eating moon cake and singing moon poems.

Camilla Ho, marketing manager of Dragon BBQ, commented:  “This festival is very important to Chinese customs and we’re really looking forward to holding the event and celebrating it with the community.”  

Broadway Plaza’s centre manager Arthur Webb is also looking forward to the event.  He said:  “The day will be full of traditional Chinese celebrations, and I cannot wait to sample the special menu and especially the Moon Cake. All are welcome to come along and join in the Chinese festivities.” 

During the Moon Festival on Sunday 14 September Dragon BBQ will be open from 12-5pm and 6-11pm.  To book a table please call 0121 456 3166.
