Lunar New Year is the most important festival celebrated by Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean in Asia. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many Asian organizations hold large celebrations and parades to share the culture. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sydney and London have already held many successful Lunar New Year Parades which attract thousands and thousands audiences.

Certainly one of the popular events, the annual Dragon Parade Lunar New Year Festival is one of the largest community parades in the city. The car traffic on Hillcrest Street between Hampton and Mills Ave will be closed at 10:30am that morning for an hour. Over 5,000 spectators were present last year. The parade route begins
at Hillcrest and Hampton and ends at the parking lot located between Colonial Photo & Hobby and Russian Academy of Ballet. More than 40 parade units will be there to showcase the Asian cultures and celebrate the year of Horse. If you do not want to miss any part of the parade, get there early with your lawn chair so you can fully enjoy the feel of Asia. You should be able to park along Hillcrest Street if you can get there before 10:30am. City officials and sponsors will kick off the festival at noon, followed by 4-hour non-stop cultural performances and entertainment. Many Asian restaurants and food trucks will be there to offer their best selection.
