Golden Dragon Parade

The Golden Dragon Parade is a century-old highlight of Los Angeles’ Lunar New Year festivities in Chinatown, drawing tens of thousands of people each year to celebrate Chinese culture and community. On parade day, Broadway and surrounding streets are transformed with vibrant dragon and lion dancers, majestic floats, marching bands, traditional martial arts displays, and appearances by local dignitaries. Families line the sidewalks as colorful processions pass by, carrying symbols of luck, prosperity, and renewal. With its rich pageantry, live performances, and sense of shared heritage, the Golden Dragon Parade offers a joyous and welcoming experience for spectators of all ages.
