Celebrate the Year of the Ram with the 42nd annual Vancouver Chinatown Spring Festival Parade this Sunday, February 22nd, 2015. Filled with colourful costumes, dancers, musicians, performers, floats and dragons, it’s a fun way to revel in the many cultures that call Vancouver home.

The 1.3 km long procession will run through Vancouver’s historic Chinatown starting at 11:00 am PST. Leaving the Millennium Gate on Pender Street, the route flows east along Pender Street, then south onto Gore Street and then west on Keefer Street before ending at Abbott Street.

Further information and other events can be found on the Chinese Benevolent Association of Vancouver web site.

The Chinese lunar calendar begins on Thursday, February 19th, 2015 as the Year of the Ram.
