Chinese New Year Celebration of Stockton 2011

Update!Another Yelper heard a rumor that the Parade, that usually happens before the celebration at the Stockton Civic Auditorium, will be canceled this year. Went on the stocktonchinese.org website to investigate... It's true, unfortunately! Here are the brief details: ( stocktonchinese.org/cnyc.php ). Read the second sentence carefully...

it's a good time to be had by all at this annual event. I been coming to this event for the last 22 years straight without missing a one! The dim sum is always a big hit so make sure you come early before they run out! The lion dance at the beginning is always a crowd pleaser. I remember when they use to light up and throw real fire crackers during the lion dance. With the parade now on the same day is a huge plus for this event.

I seen there was a thought that maybe the festival may be canceled. BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE! the festival will go on ,FEB 26 2012! hope to see you there!!
