Lunar New Year Parade wows Flushing
The annual Lunar New Year Parade held Saturday in downtown Flushing
drew large crowds and marchers to help celebrate the Year of the
Dragon.
Unlike the last several years, temperatures were moderate for
February and there was no snow or ice on the ground. Following the
parade, musical performances were held at Queens Crossing.
The holiday began on Jan. 23 and continues for a month, with
families getting together for meals and giving red envelopes filled
with lucky coins to youngsters.
