Follow the 175ft dragon as Manchester's famous Dragon Parade starts in Albert Square at 13:00 arriving in
Chinatown at 13:30 to firecrackers and New Year speeches from the
Chinese community leaders. The Lion and Unicorn will then bless
Chinatown's businesses and the 60 food, arts and crafts stalls whilst a funfair, acrobatics, dancers and musicians entertain the crowds until the firework display at 18:00.
