It was super fun for me. I have been to a couple of Dragon/Lion Dances in Asia and a decent amount in Canada. A few things made this one stand apart... 1. The moves the guys used were more advanced 2. It was a big March. Normally these celebrations are done in a smaller area, not a long March across different locations. 3. The sheer amount of people that showed up was insane. Security did a great job keeping the peace respectfully. Bravo to them. Talking to the folks that performed after I got back to Canada, this wasn't the only event. Paris had a few more events like this during the Lunar New Year time which is pretty cool. I didn't know there was such a big Dragon/Lion Dance scene. Reminds me of old Kung Fu movies.
Hello My friend. I really understand the argument you are presenting. Let me show you why I choose Lunar New Year Instead of Chinese New Year. I looks like modern times are using both interchangeably. If you look at the links below, they are switch between Chinese New Year and Lunar New year as treat it as the same thing. Myself personally, I don't understand the clear difference between the two terms. Can you tell me what the difference is? If you can clarify that for me, it would be greatly appreciated. www.twinkl.ca/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-chinese-new-year-and-lunar-new-year#:~:text=The%20festival%20that%20is%20frequently,same%20traditions%20as%20in%20China. www.almanac.com/content/chinese-new-year-chinese-zodiac earthsky.org/human-world/chinese-new-year-lunar-new-year/ www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/chinese-lunar-new-year-2024/ www.delawareonline.com/story/life/2024/02/10/what-is-the-chinese-new-year-when-is-the-lunar-new-year-in-2024/72478294007/
@@thebestfamilyoutdoorshow Our Chinese New Year is Chinese Lunisolar(陰陽曆) New year. So "Lunar" New year is technically wrong. Also "lunar" New year is an excuse made up by other countries that have bad intentions towards China made for stealing Chinese culture.

@@birdyashiro1226 So I did some reading on this topic just to get a better understanding of it. I didn't realize there were issues around these two terms. I am Chinese and my Wife is Vietnamese. For me I guess technically I am celebrating both Chinese New Year and Lunar New year. This really looks be a culturally sensitive topic and I can see why. For me personally, I don't mind what it is called Chinese New year or Lunar New Year, it is all good for me. I just wanted to paste some info I found online below for anyone who is interested: 'While Lunar New Year is usually celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year, it does fall on a different day for some countries. For example, many cultures celebrate on the first instead of the second new moon after the winter solstice. Moreover, although many other Asian countries celebrate Lunar New Year, these countries do not endorse the Chinese cultural elements but honor each nation’s customs and history. Below are how some countries celebrate Lunar New Year differently: Korea: individuals dress in traditional garments. Children bow to the elders and receive money for next year’s health and wisdom. Korean dumplings, rice cakes, and glass noodles are often found on the dinner table. Vietnam: besides dressing up in traditional garments, many families pray at temples for good fortune. Featured dishes include pickled scallions and candied fruits. Philippines: wear polka dots on Lunar New Year because the round shape stands for prosperity and good fortune! For similar reasons, you’d find tons of round fruits on the dining table too.' More can me found at - www.bureauworks.com/blog/chinese-new-year-or-lunar-new-year

Deep purple dragons? Amazing
It was super cool, these guys have a bunch more dragons with different designs and colors in their inventory too btw.
The title is wrong. It's Chinese New Year. Lunar calender counts deifferently.
