Chinese New Year Parade 2024

Year of the Dragon

It has become a yearly tradition to participate in the Chinese New Year downtown parade. The excitement began on Friday as 13 members gathered to decorate the float. Georgette and Joaquin Silva donated the truck. The poles and chairs were welded onto the truck, it was repainted, cleaned and polished. The members created beautiful floral arrangements in two hours and were treated to dinner at Hong Nien that night.

Members young and old met at the Capitol on Saturday to start the parade. It was perfect afternoon for a parade with clear blue skies and a little breeze as 30 of us rode or walked in the lineup. It was fun to wave at the huge crowds and wish them a Gung Hee Fat Choy! We were so proud to walk alongside our beautiful float. Later we met at the See Dai Doo Hall for dinner. Hope to see more of you next year and join the fun.
