🐍 DC Chinatown Celebrates the Year of the Snake! 🐍
The 2025 Annual Chinese Lunar New Year Parade will take place Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Hosted and organized by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Washington, DC (CCBA) in partnership with the DC Mayor’s Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs (MOAPIA).
In the lunar calendar, it will be the year 4723! The streets of DC’s Chinatown will be filled with revelers and spectators as we celebrate the Year of the Snake.
Join us for a vibrant community-based parade featuring various cultural and community performers. The grand finale will include a spectacular firecracker show in the middle of H Street. Come early to enjoy a meal at one of the many local eateries and restaurants, and then find the perfect curbside spot to witness the colorful festivities!
We advise taking the METRO to Gallery Place and avoiding the transportation hassle.
