Flowers bloom on Main; Tet parade draws crowd

Two events celebrating “The Year of the Cat” were mostly purr-fect in Garden Grove and Westminster this weekend.

A new celebration for the lunar new year is “Flower Street on Historic Main Street” in downtown Garden Grove on Saturday and Sunday. Based on the “flower streets” that are popular in many Asian cities, it featured displays of flowers, giant petaldecorated figures including two dragons and a towering cat, and a variety of entertainment.

The event was held on one block of Main Street, the heart of the city’s original central business district.
