UPDATES: CHINESE NEW YEAR & EVENTS

Tonight is the night to celebrate the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year. I'm so excited because as every year, I look forward for Traditional Chinese Food and celebration with my family & friends.

Here are some events that will happen this year here in Chinatown, NYC

This year Chinese New Year is on February 14, 2010. It is the year of the Tiger.
Where: from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Columbus Park
The firecracker detonation, with expected attendance by local politicians and community leaders, is intended to ward off evil spirits. A large stage will feature all-day cultural performances by traditional and contemporary Asian-American singers and dancers. Plus, a dozen lion, dragon and unicorn dance troupes will march through Chinatowns main streets, including Mott Street, the Bowery, East Broadway, Bayard Street, Elizabeth Street and Pell Street.

11th Annual Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade & Festival
The parade usually winds throughout Chinatown along Mott, Canal, and Bayard streets, and along East Broadway.
Time: 11:30 a.m. - 4 pm, Sunday, February 21, 2010
Place: Canal Street South
The spectacle features elaborate floats, marching bands, lion and dragon dances galore, Asian musicians, magicians, acrobats and procession by local organizations. Over 5,000 people are expected to march in the parade, which will start at Mott Street and promenade through practically every street in of Chinatown, finally dispersing at Worth Street. The parade is expected to conclude at 3 pm, at which time an outdoor cultural festival will take place on Bayard Street featuring more performances by musicians, dancers and martial artists.

For those who can't attend, don't worry... I didn't forget you guys. I will record some videos for you to watch & plus you get to see me perform in the Chinese Lion Dance.

If you guys see me on the streets of Chinatown, don't be shy and stare. Come up and say "Hi" or "What's up?" I'll be sure to not bite. LOL...
