Flushing is home to Queens’ first—and largest—Chinatown neighborhood. As such, the area’s Lunar New Year Parade is a huge draw each year, with vibrant costumes, floats, dancing and traditional Chinese celebrations. Start off with a warm-up reception of coffee and doughnuts at the Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce from 9:30 to 10:30am, and then march over to the parade site at Union Street and 37th Avenue. The parade will begin at approximately 11am.
This year’s theme is the “Year of the Dog!” … what are your wishes, hopes, desires, and predictions for the coming year? Share them with us in the comments section and we will give a prize to the most creative one!
The Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce is part of a community coalition that plans and organized the Parade every year. The coalition is led by the Flushing Chinese Business Association and the Korean American Association of Queens.
