There was a parade, a party, fireworks and lots of awe-struck on-lookers during the Chinese New Year Celebration in Chinatown on Sunday. The event was organized by Main Street Chinatown and the City of Boston to mark the start of the Chinese Spring Festival or New Year. Welcome to the Year of the Hare.
