27 photos of Vancouver's Chinese New Year Parade
Lovebirds weren’t the only ones celebrating on Sunday, February 14. The 43rd annual Chinese New Year Parade rolled through Chinatown, and thousands attended despite the rain.
With spectacular dancing, costumes, and a bevy of dragons, it’s hardly surprising that Vancouverites braved the wet weather to collectively welcome the year of the monkey.
In case you missed it, here are 27 spectacular photos of Vancouver’s Chinese New Year Parade 2016.
