About
The big Lunar New Year parade in Paris runs through the 13th arrondissement, home to the city's largest Asian community. Dragon and lion dancers weave down the avenues to drums and Chinese music, followed by local associations in traditional costume. Kids watch from the curb, and red clothes are the tradition. It suits kids who like a loud spectacle; ones who struggle with dense crowds may find it a lot.
Where it is
Avenue de Choisy and Avenue d'Ivry
Avenue de Choisy, 75013 Paris
