LOS ANGELES — The 126th annual Golden Dragon Parade was held in Chinatown Saturday, marking Lunar New Year.

The three-hour parade began at 1 p.m. at Ord and Hill streets, it headed north on Hill Street to Bernard Street, east one block to Broadway, then south on Broadway to Temple Street, where it concluded.

The parade included a lion dance, in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume to bring good luck and fortune, dance troupes and music groups.

Organizers encouraged spectators to take public transportation or a ride-hailing service because of street closures beginning at 10 a.m. and an expected lack of parking.
