Aerial view of the Lunar New Year Parade along Hollywood Boulevard, which was taken from a high-rise building. Crowds of people line both sides of the street, and numerous others watch from rooftop terraces. The sign for El Capitan Theatre is visible on the left, mid-way in the photo. Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, starts at the beginning of spring. It occurs somewhere between January 30 and February 20, and it is China's biggest holiday. It is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and lion dances. 2002 was the Year of the Horse. Photo dated: February 17, 2002.
