The streets of DC CHINATOWN WILL BE FILLED WITH REVELERS AND
SPECTATORS AS THE CHINESE CONSOLIDATED BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION (CCBA)
in partnership with the Mayor’s Office on Asian and Pacific Islander
Affairs (MOAPIA) host the annual Chinese LUNAR NEW YEAR’s PARADE.
This year, in the Chinese LUNAR CALENDAR, is the Year of the Dragon.
Dragons are charismatic, intelligent, confident, powerful and they are
naturally lucky and gifted. Come early for a bite at one of the many
local eateries and then grab your curb-side vantage point to witness
the colorful pageantry to come. We will organize a dynamic
community-based parade that will include a range of cultural and
community performances by lion and dragon dance troupes, musical bands
from various generational and cultural organizations, kung-fu schools,
beauty pageant princesses, U.S. Military representing Army, Navy & Air
Force, local high school bands, and more. The finale will feature a
firecracker show surrounded by lion dancing troupes. We would advise
that it is best to take METRO to Gallery Place and avoid the
transportation hassle. More information: www.dcparade.com.
