China Media Group presents the “Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala” in New York City, marking the joyous arrival of the Year of the Horse with an evening of cultural celebration, innovation, and global unity.

The Year of Horse begins on February 17. Watching the CMG Spring Festival Gala on the eve of the Chinese New Year has been a tradition for Chinese people. The celebration serves as a cultural symbol for the world to explore and understand China.

The “Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala” event in NYC will share that same spirit and will feature dynamic performances, showcasing both tradition and modernity. A Dragon Dance act will kick off the night, and later musicians and performers will appear on the stage singing and dancing to celebrate diversity and harmony.

Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a unique magic show by an artist known for large-scale illusions and immersive experiences. The show will include interaction with the audience and with talking robots.

There will be an outstanding AI works display from the “Bright Future of Humanity” global AI visual works call-for-submissions, which was launched last August, inviting young creators to use AI for positive, future-oriented storytelling.

One of the final acts will be a remarkable Tai Chi and martial arts demonstration, and the night will close with music and a fashion show featuring designs inspired by both tradition and technology.

The 2026 “Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala” will successfully reflect the spirit of cultural exchange and mutual respect, reinforcing the importance of shared traditions in a global community.
