San Francisco also holds one of the largest Chinese New Year celebrations in the world with events that last almost two weeks after the initial festival day. The huge parade that’s thrown by Southwestern Airlines includes a heady mix of folk dancers, floats, stilt walkers, marching bands and a 268-foot-long golden dragon. The crowds are intense, so there is even bleacher seating for people to watch the show in comfort. The evening ends with a stunning fireworks display. Aside from the parade, San Francisco is also home to fun experiences like the New Year Flower Fair and a street fair that last for weeks. One of the more unique events is the Miss Chinatown USA pageant with a coronation ball later in the month.
