Despite the rain, people traveled from across the state and even across the country to ring in the Year of the Rabbit in San Francisco Saturday.
"I think it’s amazing! As a Chinese [person] I am really proud of my history,” said Sy George, who traveled with her mom from Sacramento to attend the parade.
Many people watching the parade were ready for the weather with rain jackets, ponchos, and umbrellas. The parade featured many marching bands, lion dances, rabbit decorations, floats, and elected officials driving along the route in cars. Actor Rich Ting served as the Grand Marshal of the Festival and Parade and was there as well.
The Virgen family was decked in ponchos on the parade route, they had driven six hours to watch a relative perform in the parade. They agreed, the six hour drive was well worth it.
