The Chinese New Year celebrations are just beginning, and they take their new year quite seriously. Starting on Jan. 31 the Chinese New Year launches with all things “horse”. But before the parades and festivals begin, the 49th annual Miss Los Angeles Chinatown Pageant takes place on January 18, 2014. Once a Queen is crowned, she and her court will appear in the festive, 115th Annual Golden Dragon Parade in Los Angeles Chinatown on February 1, 2014. When you live in California, home to America’s largest Asian population, you get to celebrate many cultures and events. There’s a full month of flower-buying, fireworks, dragon dancing, gifts, festivals and parades beginning now.
