Dragon, lion and snake dancers took to the streets of Chinatown once again to celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the year of the snake on a snowy Sunday morning.

Costumed lion dancers performed for two hours on a snowy Sunday to celebrate the Year of the Snake in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood.

Hundreds gathered in Boston’s Chinatown to celebrate the annual Lunar New Year parade on Sunday morning, despite the heavy snowfall the night before and early in the morning.

A lion dancer kicks a head of lettuce into the crowd, Feb. 9, 2025. The practice called "Choy Cheng" in English "Plucking Greens", is a play on words, with choy the word for green being pronounced the same way, though different tone, as the word for wealth.
