Chinatown is ablaze in red and gold right now in observance of the Chinese New Year. Gold is a symbol of power, while red symbolizes happiness and good wishes will be flowing this weekend at Honolulu’s big celebration. HPR’s Noe Tanigawa found that everything means something in the food and activities around the new Year of the Horse.The first day of the new year is next Friday, so fireworks and lion dances will scare off evil spirits this Saturday, 10am to 10pm in Honolulu’s Chinatown. Food, four entertainment stages, crafts, martial arts, plus the big parade, 3:30PM on Hotel St. (starting at Richards, going Ewa to River street.)
Chinatown streets will be blocked off from Beretania to King and Nu’uanu to River streets from 5:30 to 10pm Friday night and from 3am to midnight Saturday.
