Chinese New Year Mini-Procession & Ribbon Cutting | Chinatown

Come help kick off the new year with a procession that gives a taste of what the larger Lunar New Year parade will bring.

The procession begins at historic St. Mary’s Square, follows the original parade route down Grant Avenue, and proceeds to the Flower Fair’s main stage on Washington below Grant.

The procession will include lion dancers, giant walking puppets, costumed stilt walkers, drummers and dancers. Following the procession, the City dignitaries will join honored guests in officially opening the Festival with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
