Chinese New Year's Eve celebration at New York City's Chinatown, Year of the Dragon! Feb.9, 2024

Free Masons Club celebrate New Years eve on Mott street NYC Feb 9, 2024. Fireworks banned by Gulliani in 1997 disrupted the ceremony to drive away the evil spirits, brought decades of bad luck to NYC. The fireworks exorcism drives away the evil spirits represented by the gunpowder smoke drifting away. After the disaster of 9/11 and Covid, Chinatown could use some good luck in the year of the Dragon!

Good job. Love all the new Lion Heads. Especially the two black lions. Color scheme on those two are really fierce. Shout out to the next generation Hung Ching. Hope to see you all soon.

How come NY Chinatown still so backwards ?

Our culture has a 5000 year history, while many civilizations have come and gone, we celebrate our history and culture every new year, no matter how difficult the times.

In USA people like being different from all other countries, we like doing our own trends, no matter what ethnic group 😎🦾

If someone has a hamstring injury running backwards is a good excercise to strengthen that particular muscle.
