Many strong men, with the Leung's White Crane contingent, carried a huge lion head down Market Street.

Next was a humble hand pulled cart with a drummer inside backed by lavish banners. Surrounding that drum cart were other folks playing cymbals and small drums.

A tall lion made its way down Market Street. As it was moved along, a dragon surrounding it undulated and moved its head.

The parade ended with the arrival of the longest and most dramatic dragon of the parade. It was lit from inside and moved slowly back and forth across the street, first thrilling one side, then the other.

A close up view of the dragon's head, as seen from the side.

Firecrackers exploded just ahead of the dragon, leading its way down the street.

The dragon seen across the street. It had just thrilled the crowds on that side of the street (the crowds in front of the comics store).

The dragon followed a ball held by a man who led it back and forth across the street.

The huge, long tail of the dragon passed by last. It's internal lighting created a lovely, dramatic scene.

A video of the last dragon of the parade. Here we show the tail as it winds its way down Market street, sadly bringing the parade to a close.
