Year of the Snake

 SAVE THE DATE!

FEBRUARY 22th, 2025

10 AM – 4 PM

3nd Annual OCIC Lunar New Year Parade

Our 2023 parade was Oakland Chinatown’s first Lunar New Year Parade in more than 50 years, and we aim to continue that tradition. We’re working to make 2025 an even more special event! Bring your enthusiasm, come dressed in your most festive outfits, and support the community!

THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE

The Year of the Snake begins January 29, 2025 and lasts until February 16, 2026. The snake symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, luck, and success. People born in the Year of the Snake tend to be charismatic, intelligent, and ambitious.

The Chinese zodiac runs on a twelve year cycle. Those born in the years 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025, and 2037 have the snake as their zodiac symbol.
