The Year 2012 is the 4709th Chinese or Lunar year. And a parade is a great way to celebrate the year of the dragon--the water dragon to be specific. We marched around the community through lions and dragons, but it was no match for our drums beating while our horns and fifes sang through the streets.
We were invited to participate in the 5th Annual East Meets West Christmas Parade that winds through both Little Italy and Chinatown. Being neighbors about a hundred years helps build a pretty strong bond. This year's parade was bigger than ever and quite colorful! The parade had a little bit of everything! There were classic cars, Italian singers, Chinese lions and Santa Clause all parading along!
