New Years Eve Dance Party and Lucy Chang Memorial Fundraiser

December 31, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - January 1, 2027 @ 12:15 am
Free

Come help Moveable Feet celebrate the arrival of 2027 with an in-person potluck supper and dance party while raising money for Second Harvest, a local food bank!

The combined, New Year’s Eve International Folk Dance Party and Lucy Chang Memorial Second Harvest Fundraiser will kick off on December 31, at 7:00 p.m. and wind down not long after we ring in the New Year next morning.

We’ll start with a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:45), followed by dancing from about 8 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. Bring a favorite dish to share (label your serving utensils). Moveable Feet will supply drinks, plates, and utensils.

Donate to SHFB

Please make a generous donation to Second Harvest, either in advance or bring to the party cash, checks, or a smart phone to use a credit card. You may also bring cans, jars (peanut butter), bags (rice, pasta), and boxes (cereal, cake mix) to be delivered to SHFB.

Together, we can work toward a hunger-free community

Nearly one-third of all Silicon Valley households do not earn enough to meet their most basic needs without public or private assistance. Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is serving a staggering, record-high 1 in 6 neighbors in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties every month. For more than 50 years, Second Harvest has been there for our neighbors, thanks to support from community members like you. When we all come together, our community can make a significant difference. With your help, we can make certain that anyone who needs it has access to free, nutritious food.

About Moveable Feet and Lucy Chang

Lucy Chang was an avid folk dancer, the founder of the Moveable Feet Folk Dance Club, and a supporter of Second Harvest Food Bank. Her first fundraiser in 2016 garnered dozens of cans of food. The club now raises thousands of dollars a year for Second Harvest Food Bank with its annual New Year’s Eve Folk Dance Party. This year we hope to raise at least $20,000. Please contribute what you can!

Additional notes: Parking is free on New Year’s Eve and no time limit in Palo Alto city lots and streets.
