RSS FeedChinese New Year 2011
It’s that time of the year already! The Chinese New Year officially occurred on February 3rd, but DC’s celebration will be held on Sunday, Feb 6, 2011 and will be centered around the 7th & H St NW intersection (Gallery Place metro). The parade will take place from 2pm – 5pm and will feature a traditional Chinese Dragon Dance, Kung Fu demonstrations, and live musical entertainment. The usual giant firecracker lights up at 3:45pm.
More Penn Quarter and Chinatown restaurants are hosting specials during the celebration this time around. For example, Chinatown Coffee (475 H St NW) is serving The Crazy Rabbit cocktail and Buddha Bar (455 Mass Ave NW) is offering a special Chinese New Year menu.
Street closures, courtesy of the Penn Quarter Neighborhood Association, are as follows:
- 7th Street NW between I and G Streets NW
- G Street NW between 7th and 9th Streets NW
- 8th Street NW between G and H Street NW
- H Street NW between 8th and 6th Streets NW
