Celebrating the Year of the Pig in Chinatown

CHINATOWN (FOX 29) - The Chinese New Year is here and it is the Year of the Pig.

Philadelphia has been celebrating with lions, dragons, fire crackers and martial arts.

And, no new year celebration is complete without the annual Lion Dance parade in Chinatown. Folks turned out Sunday to take part in the festivities. Instead of standing in one spot, waiting and watching as floats pass by, people participate and walk along with the parade.
