The image, taken in 1936, depicts a lively parade filled with colorfully dressed participants and onlookers lining the roadway. At the heart of the procession, the Golden Dragon of Good Luck makes its grand entrance, its intricately designed body adorned with red, yellow, green, blue, and orange hues. The parade, a cherished custom in Chinatown, represents the deep-rooted traditions that have been passed down through generations.
