What you may not know is that it is also the year of the tiger in the Chinese Zodiac.
In celebration of this, Windnie and I went to the Chinatown Parade and Cultural Festival last weekend! We got there right in time to see the dancing dragon heads being pushed away on little carts :/
The sun was a-shinin'
The wind was a blowin'
And the poppers were a poppin'
And there were all sorts of adorable children around.
So we actually didn't make it in time for many of the performances/festivities... but we did get to wander around amongst the rubble of what was left of the celebration...
and eat a very delicious lunch! $3 for 12 very large and savory dumplings, what whaaaaaat.
.... WHAAAT IS GOING ON HERE??
Sorry, buddy, but those are lion dance heads, not dragons! Cool pictures though! Those dumplings look delicious. :]
