Chinese New Year festivities or celebrations?
 

I have friends visiting from Germany. Can anyone recommend good Chinese New Year festivities or celebrations around town (Vancouver/Richmond/Burnaby) for them to see either on the weekend or on Monday January 26? I thought it would be cool if they could see a lion dance or something like that as they have never seen one before.

Chinatown Parade

Aberdeen for night time festivities

chinatown parade, i went there last year and theres lion dance and you get to see the mayor of vancouver walking down the street too =P

There should be the chinatown parade on the Sunday (26th) and there's the usual congregation of the masses at Tinseltown selling junk.

Aberdeen Monday Jan 26th, Lion dance and more!!!!!! 12 pm

i want a day off.

Chinese New Year's dinner at Hon's :D

But seriously check out the Chinatown parade, don't know exactly what day it's on though.

parade is always on the sunday.... imo the parads sucks nowadays, they used to be way better back in the days when i used to perform..

i believe its on feb 1st
hope it's sunny like last year
