Bok Kai Parade

We went to the Bok Kai parade! This has been an annual parade in Marysville since 1880, and one we went to fairly often when I was growing up here. It celebrates a Chinese water god, and has never, in all these years, been rained on.

Opening gongs and firecrackers...


Lots of dragons, large and small...








And the giant dragon!

For more photos and videos, see the album.
