On February 24th and 25th, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles brings the 108th Golden Dragon Parade and Lunar New Year Festival to Chinatown. The Golden Dragon Parade itself will take place between 2pm and 4pm on February 24th, and the festival continues throughout the day and night. Other activities include food booths, lion dancers, martial arts demonstrations, carnival games, and childrens activites. A car show will be going on all day on Saturday as well, so go down there and tell ‘em you don’t need a car in L.A.
