PJ's Studio: Chinese Lunar New Year Parade p2

Sunday, March 10, 2024

The Lunar New Year is celebrated on the first new moon of the lunar calendar.

In addition to the Chinese, many other cultures use the lunar calendar

- including Buddhism, Islam and Judaism.

This was the 26^th edition of New York City’s parade,

which is the largest lunar parade outside of Asia.

Unless you ask San Francisco.

Apparently, a sighting of a lucky mascot,

i.e. a Dragon, Phoenix, Unicorn or Dragon Turtle will bring luck for the year to come.

So, I should be all set.

No word on whether looking at photos counts too. 😉

Here’s a link to the previous blog, some other Chinatown blogs, and one from the Met…

Happy New Year!
