Sunday afternoon, friends and I checked out the festivities of the 3rd annual Austin Chinese New Year. It was the 2nd day of a celebratory weekend that involved various local acts, international entertainers and fireworks. A variety of groups and schools representing different asian cultures and performances. Both mornings were started off with an energetic rendition of the Chinese Lion and Dragon dance.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

A chipper little group dance

They experienced some technical snafus

but they rebounded with a strong finish

One final group number



Again charming

fun and

pleasurable


At the main market at the chinese center hung this ferocious dragon

I believe they said it was crafted out of over 5000 balloons
