PHOTOS: Lunar New Year Parade on Somerset

Some pics of yesterday’s Lunar New Year Parade on Somerset Street. The parade featured Chinese lions, zodiac animals, drummers and dancing.  The parade ambled from business to business to brig good fortune and ward off evil spirits in Chinatown.  Thanks to Gordon Dewis for posting these photos to the OttawaStart Flickr Group .
