Chinese New Year

Feb 1, 2011 | What to Wear

Chinese New Year begins on February 3 and is an opportunity to celebrate some lively traditions, like giving red undies to your loved ones. In Chinese tradition, red is one of the luckiest colors and it is believed to ward off danger and evil lurking in the New Year. Chinese New Year is like Christmas celebrations. In addition to dances and firecrackers, families spend time together giving gifts and feasting. If you want a spectacular and singular experience, go to the 12^th Annual Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown on Sunday February 6. It begins on Mott Street and winds its way up and down the street in Chinatown from 11:30am to 4pm. 5000 people are expected to participate!
