Excerpts from the 2015 Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco, March 7, 2015. This is the Year of the Ram (or Sheep or Goat), lunar year 4713. The parade lasted for hours, so I didn't get everything, but here's quite a bit of it. To see the names of most (but not all) of the participants, turn on Closed Captions. This was recorded near the start of the parade route, on Market Street between Montgomery and Kearny.

If you'd like to see the 2016 parade, it is here:
