Getaway Trip: Chinese New Year’s Parade

Meet in front of Police Services
1:00 pm

Tickets: FREE

Nowhere in the world will you see a lunar new year parade with more gorgeous floats, elaborate costumes, ferocious lions, exploding firecrackers, and of course the newly crowned Miss Chinatown U.S.A. and her court. A crowd favorite is the spectacular 268 foot Golden Dragon ("Gum Lung"). It takes a team of over 100 men and women from the martial arts group, White Crane to carry this dragon throughout the streets of San Francisco.

Please note, the parade is at 5:00 P.M. but we need to get there early for parking, to find a good spot to eat, and watch the parade. The group does not need to stay together for this trip.
