Last weekend was Super Saturday in Chinatown, one of my favorite events of the year. The streets were closed to traffic while firecrackers, confetti, drummers, performers and revelers filled the streets to welcome the Year of the Horse. I really enjoyed the festivities this year and some photo highlights are below.
The amount of confetti was...astonishing. A glorious mess that I will be picking out of my hair for years to come.
There were times I had to just embrace the cellphone era. I hope someone got a good video...
Offerings for the monster Nian:
The finale of one performance included this dragon.
The dragon and crowd were eventually swallowed up by firecracker smoke. I wanted to take some video to capture the deafening sound, but the crowd was so tight, I couldn't move my arms, LOL.
Let's hope the Year of the Horse brings us some good luck.
See more photos of the event on my Flickr page.
