Chinese New Year Parade
2013.03.23

The parade is typically a couple of weeks after the actual Lunar New Year… We start off in Chinatown to do some people-watching at the Chinatown Community Street Fair. This is actually the second street fair during the new year, catering more to tourists and visitors—the first is the flower market that takes place on the weekend of the actual Lunar New Year holiday that caters more to the local Chinese community.

There’s always a lot of free promotional goodies available at the booths (if you’re willing to stand in line and wait).
