lunar new year &
anniversary celebration
February 1, Saturday, 4p
FREE for members!
Everybody knows the real New Year's celebration happens at the Lunar New Year. And coincidentally, this year it falls on the same week as the 4 year anniversary of Uplift's opening. Let's have a party!
Climbing has always been the thing that’s brought us together, so what a great time to celebrate the members, the community, and the neighborhood that make Uplift special. You’ll need a day pass to climb, but it’s free to come enjoy the music in the evening!
FOOD TRUCK: 5p-8p
Kathmandu MoMoCha will be in our parking lot in the evening for you to enjoy delicious Himalayan Street Food! Get your session in, then enjoy some delicious dumplings.
LIVE DRAWING: 5p-6p
Our friend dozfy is BACK, this time with live art! If you enjoy the beautiful murals on our walls, or the Friendly Crewneck, make sure to come by and meet the man. Bring a photo of your pet and dozfy will send you home with a keepsake pet portrait!
LIVE MUSIC: 730p-830p
The Josh Hou Group is coming with a quintet to entertain you with modern arrangements of Chinese folk tunes, as well as plenty of Mando-pop, Canto-pop, and Tai-pop.
Live music starts at 730p, invite a friend (or your mom!) and bring a folding chair! There’s no cost if you’re just coming to enjoy the tunes, but there will be a tip jar for the musicians. No climbing once the music starts.
SHOP
Need to show the world how much you love climbing? Say no more. Craggu has you covered with handmade and upcycled climbing rope tote bags, and will have a bunch for sale during our event!
MEET-UP
Looking for your crew? Our friends at the Asian Climbing Collective are hosting their first ever Seattle meetup that evening! Come say hi and meet host Lin!
SUPPORT
A huge thanks to Flashed for the support in making this event happen. And for making the best chalk and bouldering gear in the business.
Arc’teryx Seattle can always be counted on for helping us throw a party. Thanks for helping with this one!
