Announcing a new Meetup for Shutterbug Excursions!
What: 2010 CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE
When: Sunday, February 21, 2010 1:30 PM
Where:
Starbucks
800 7th Street NW
Washington, DC 20001
[masked]
Let's go to the Chinese New Year Parade in Washington's Chinatown! It's the Year of the Tiger.
We'll meet outside Starbucks on the corner of 7th and H Streets Sunday, February 21st in Chinatown. The Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro is nearby (Green/Yellow and Red lines)
The parade begins at 2:00pm on H Street between 6th and 8th Streets. There are other Chinatown activities as well including live music and dance performances, traditional Chinese calligraphy, children’s crafts, face painting, tai chi and kung fu demonstrations, lion dancing, poetry readings, film screenings, art and photo exhibits, raffle prizes, New Year souvenirs, free giveaways, and much more. Special guest performances by: Wong People and students of Yu Ying Public Charter School.
During this celebration of the Asian culture, it is traditional to wear RED which is meant to ward off evil spirits. So feel free to come sporting your favorite red shirts, jackets, hats and scarves!
Family members and children are welcome!
Most Shutterbug knows that an excursion is not complete without finding good eats. Thus, for anyone wanting to stay around for dinner after the festivities - I understand that there are many wonderful ethnic restaurants in the area; last year a number of us enjoyed the sights, smells and great eats at the Full Kee Restaurant on H Street. Note on your response if you want to stay for dinner.
