Chinese New Year 2017

Happened to witness these Dragons and spectacular costumes on the eve of Chinese new year celebrations at the Footscray Vegetable Market. Also called as the spring festivals, it is one of the important festivals of China and many of the people of Chinese origin, all around the world. So this year 2017 is called as the year of the Rooster and January 28^th is the first day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. So there was traditional Chinese Music being played which I think are Cymbals and the each of Dragon I saw consisted of 4 persons, walking and dancing to the rhythmic sound of Cymbals. And there were others dressed in the traditional Chinese attire accompanying the two Dragons that I saw, a Yellow and a Red one. Surely, the Dragons changed the usually busy and business market place to that of fun and frolic.
