On March 1, the Chicago Chinatown Community Foundation hosted its annual Lunar New Year Parade, celebrating the Year of the Horse and the 114th anniversary of Chicago’s Chinatown on a sunny and windy Sunday afternoon.

Traditional lion and dragon dancing flowed through South Wentworth Avenue and West Cemark Road alongside marching bands, floats, dancers, and members of local schools and organizations. Thousands of visitors filled both sides of the street, excited for the performances of the parade, as confetti glided through the air during the day.

After the parade, lion dancers spread throughout the Chinatown area to bless local businesses with good fortune throughout the new year with many patrons from the day’s event visiting local establishments within the area.

February 14 marked the official start of the Lunar New Year and Year of the Fire Horse, occurring for the first time in sixty years. According to the Chinese calendar, we’ve entered the year 4,724. The Lunar calendar rotates between five elements and 12 animal zodiac signs.
