Chinese New Year lion dance parade Feb 9, 2008

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

February 9, 2008, Spadina - Dundas Street West, Toronto Chinatown,  Hong Luck Kung Fu Club and Chinatown Business Improvment Area (BIA) had a Lunar New Year lion dance parade.  The event started at 12:00 noon until 5:00 pm.  The lion went to every store / business establishment to bless the owner with good luck and wish them prosperity and wishes of a better business for the remaining of the year. 

Weather wise, we were bless with a warm day as it was raining in the middle of February winter.  The year of the Golden Rat 2008 must be a good year ahead for us too.  So with the help of the dignataries from BIA, we awakened 2 lions as well.

 Here are some pictures of the lion dance parade. 

Enjoy!!!
