The Chinese New Year Parade is a celebration of Chinese culture and tradition. Held on the day of Chinese New Year, which follows the lunar calendar, this event is a unique opportunity to experience the excitement and energy of Chinatown with friends and family.
The CFMAC is one of the few groups that organizes a Lion Dance parade through the heart of Chinatown on the day of. Starting at the Athletic Club on Canal Street around 10:30 AM, our parade winds through the neighborhood, bringing blessings and performances to businesses.
The parade route typically covers the area between Canal Street to the north, Worth Street and Chatham Square to the south, Baxter Street to the west, and Bowery to the east.
*This event is not the Chinese New Year Float parade where spectators are behind barricades watching floats and dance groups walk down the street.
