Lunar New Year’s Parade in San Francisco largest outside Asia, nearly 3 hours long over 1.3 miles featuring 289-foot-long golden dragon
San Francisco’s Lunar New Year parade, the largest one outside of Asia, was highlighted by a 289-foot-long golden dragon that wound its way through the streets. The mythical creature is a symbol of luck, wisdom, strength and power in Chinese culture. The nearly 3-hour-long parade made its way through Chinatown on a 1.3-mile course that rounded Union Square before ending at Kearny Street and Columbus Avenue.
The Year of the Dragon officially began Feb. 10 and is the fifth of the 12-year cycle of animals in the Chinese zodiac. Considered a powerful sign, those born that year are predicted to be innovative thinkers with inquisitive minds.
