Chinese New Year

Celebrate the Chinese New Year, this year being the Year of the Dragon, with a parade and dance on February 4 and 5. The Buddhist Association of the Chinese Community in Italy will hold a parade at 9:30 am through the streets of the nearby town of Prato with an immense spectacular dragon departing from the Buddhist temple, stopping along the way at the many Chinese stores in the town. The festivities continue on Sunday afternoon, as the Chinese community participates in the Dance of the Fans, in collaboration with the Flag Throwers of Florence, concluding with food stands offering Chinese and Italian cuisine.
