February 27: Caspian
Based in Beverly, Massachusetts, post-rock band Caspian just celebrated the 10th anniversary of their inception with a new album, Dust and Disquiet. Since the release of their previous record, Waking Season, Caspian suffered from the loss of their founding bassist, Chris Friedrich. Yet knowing they must continue, the group pulled together in Friedrich’s honor. “After a while, you can forget why you’re out there in the first place. Deciding to do another record… was a move to reclaim for ourselves why it is that we do all this – music is our strongest antidote to feelings of emptiness and disquiet,” said founding guitarist Phil Jamieson. With their brand-new album, Caspian is embarking on a tour of China. The first stop is Shenzhen, on February 26, and then Guangzhou on February 27. Performances in Wuhan, Chongqin, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing will follow.

Until February 28: Canton Temple Fair
An annual Chinese New Year tradition, the Canton Temple Fair features acrobatic performances, live music, traditional dances and much, much more.

Head to this historic pedestrian street for a lazy afternoon of window-shopping and take advantage of the free festivities!
