Ahh I'm so bummed I missed this event this year. I went last year and it was a really cool experience. I made a video to sum up what it was really all about and everything I learned. Take a look if you're interested in some Chinese culture :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrwYKTq21Nw

Hey Bobby D,
Spoken like a true citizen of the republic. But oh wait, that doesn't look like your real name! If you want to be a jerk about chinese/us relations, move back to China. Otherwise, leave a positive comment in regards to Los Angeles' recognition of this beautiful Chinese holiday. Happy New Years Hater
Chinese new year is a great party time in the USA, LA - fun, foods, family, but please don't party too hard & happy, china is laughing at you, seeking to put america in an economic recession by illegal business tactics, then where will all of your precious sons work? Retail? Mcdonalds, burger king? all of the good jobs will be gone, then you won't be so happy on chinese new year, then quickly you will start singing the star spangled banner, but by then it will be too late.
what day is the parade ? what time does it start ? where do the activities for children take place ?
why does this never get any media coverage - articles about when and where ? etc
