SUMMARY:LA Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade 2027
DESCRIPTION:The Los Angeles Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and Festival marks the start of the Lunar New Year calendar with one of the oldest and largest public celebrations in Southern California. The 2027 edition celebrates the Year of the Goat with a parade down Broadway in Chinatown\, traditional lion and dragon dances\, firecracker ceremonies\, and a full festival spanning the surrounding blocks.\n\nThe parade route runs through Chinatown's Central Plaza and along Broadway\, with viewing positions available along the sidewalk for free. The parade includes marching bands\, lion dance troupes from kung fu schools throughout the region\, community floats\, elected officials\, and cultural organizations that have been part of this procession for generations.\n\nThe surrounding festival extends into Chinatown's plazas and vendor areas — traditional foods\, lanterns\, decorations\, calligraphy demonstrations\, and cultural performances fill the neighborhood for the full festival weekend. The Central Plaza becomes the hub of celebration\, with the lion dances performing throughout the afternoon as the crowd grows.\n\nChinatown is located in downtown Los Angeles along North Broadway\, accessible via Metro Gold Line (Chinatown Station) and the nearby Union Station transit hub. Street parking in the surrounding area becomes scarce during the festival — Metro is strongly recommended. The festival is free to attend\; food and vendor purchases are individual. The Lunar New Year in 2027 falls in late January.
LOCATION:Chinatown Central Plaza\, 970 N Broadway\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012
