As many of you know, this parade draws thousands of people each year and features many community groups, advocacy organizations, dance troupes, marching bands, seniors playing traditional instruments, drummers, and lion dancers. This is one of the few times that we get to participate with the greater Chinese-American community and what a special feeling it is both for us and for them to celebrate this wonderful event together!
So bundle up and please join us in celebrating this Year of the Horse!
