2019 is moving quickly! We hope that all of you studying at the Harvest English Institute are enjoying learning and expanding your English skills this year and have lots of exciting plans for adventures here in the US.
For all of you still getting to know the areas around you campus in Newark, Orlando, or Los Angeles, we have put together our usual monthly guide of top events we hope you decide to check out.
There is plenty going on throughout February, including Chinese New Year Celebrations and some romantic events especially for Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s All-Star Comedy Show
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about red roses and fancy dinners. As part of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center comedy series, the Valentine’s All-Star Comedy Show is guaranteed to have you in fits of laughter all night long. The host, Bill Bellamy, will be joined by comic stars Michael Blackson (Modasucka: Welcome to America), John Witherspoon (Willie Jones in the Friday film series), Luenell (Snoop Do’s Bad Girls of Comedy), and Smokey Suarez (Paper Soldiers) for an evening of entertainment. It’s perfect for you and your Valentine.

Dragon Parade Chinese New Year Festival

You’ll celebrate this important occasion in the Chinese calendar, for which 2019 marks the year of the pig. Watch the parade as is weaves its way through the streets. It’ll be followed by a host of traditional Asian entertainment, including dragon dancing, lion dancing, cultural dances, martial arts, taiko drummers, arts & crafts, and plenty of delicious Asian food to sample throughout the day.

Afterwards, take a moonlit stroll through the park and take in the stunning views of Los Angeles.
