Chinatown Lion Dance Parade
The Lion Dance parade will feature dance, drums and firecrackers! "The annual Chinese New Year Parade provides a lot of fun as well as the best opportunity to see traditional Lion Dances performed in Boston's Chinatown, the third largest in the U.S. Lion Dances are believed to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck - so they're the perfect way to start the New Year." After the parade, enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many traditional Chinatown restaurants.
