The Chinese New Year Parade in 2009, the Year of the Ox
The San Francisco Chinese New Year Festival and Parade is an annual event held in San Francisco. Held approximately two weeks following the first day of the Chinese New Year, it combines elements of the Chinese Lantern Festival with a typical American parade. First held in 1858[1] along what are today Grant Avenue and Kearny Street, it is the oldest and largest event of its kind in the world. The parade route begins on Market Street and terminates in Chinatown.
