The Lunar New Year falls early this year - beginning in January. Mark your calendar for the Chinese New Year Parade on January 29, 2012. Each year a parade is held in Chinatown in Washington, DC featuring traditional Chinese Dragon Dances, Kung Fu demonstrations and live musical entertainment. The Chinese New Year is a 15-day event that starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year - this year is the year of the Dragon.
