Chinese New Year Parade Logistics
The Chinese New Year Parade in Queens celebrates the year of the tiger. The Chinese New Year Parade begins at 11 am on Saturday in Flushing. This year [2010] the Chinese New Year Parade will start at 37th Avenue and Union Street. The parade will snake south on Union, turns west on Sanford Avenue and then head south again along Main Street - all in Flushing neighborhood of Queens.
This is purely based on conjecture, but based on what I saw last year, I have to believe that this is one of the best Chinese New Year Parades outside of China. It's also one of the three best parades in Queens that I've witnessed [Columbus Day in Astoria in October and St Patricks Day in Sunnyside / Woodside - coming Sunday March 7th - see Members Calendar for details].
I recommend viewing this parade at least once in your life as the Asian pageantry is unparalleled.
The Chinese New Year Parade in Flushing will be followed by a fireworks display in the street adjacent to Queens Crossing [about 12.30 or 1 pm]. Following the fireworks display, there will be a number of Asian cultural performances on the second floor of the Queens Crossing Mall.
About 2,000 people are expected to participate and many more to attend. We will post more about this upcoming event, including photos from last year, on Monday.
