Today, we look ahead to Saturday's Chinese New Year Parade -- the biggest Lunar New Year celebration outside of Asia.
Festivities so far have included a flower market fair, basketball tournament, and the Miss Chinatown USA Pageant.
As the City prepares for tomorrow's parade, which will celebrate the Year of the Dragon, KCBS Radio's Margie Shafer and Eric Thomas spoke with longtime community organizer Reverend Norman Fong, former executive director of SF's Chinatown Community Development Center.
