Chinese New Year Festival 2023 Kickoff & Mini Parade (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Come help us kick off the new year with a procession that gives a glimpse 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 Ave. and proceeds to the Flower Fair’s main stage on Pacific St. 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 at the main stage on Pacific between Grant & Kearny

Please note this is mini preview event and different from the full Chinese New Year Parade which is scheduled for February 4, 2023
