Later this month, the Chinese New Year Parade takes place in downtown San Francisco (Saturday, Feb. 20, 6–8 p.m.). About 150 years old and considered one of the don’t-miss parades in the country, this nighttime extravaganza will once again bring together colorful floats, costumes, firecrackers, Miss Chinatown, and the ever-popular Golden Dragon.
The event’s organizers suggest staking out your spot by 4:30 p.m. to be certain of getting a good view See this issue’s Calendar (page 16) for details and get additional information, including a route map, at chineseparade.com.
