Paris's biggest and most beautiful Chinese New Year parade, that is, the one in the 13ᵉ arrondissement, returns this Sunday, February 9, 2025. Don't miss this festive and colorful rendezvous that celebrates the New Year with joy. This year, we celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Snake.
The Chinese New Year parade in the 13ᵉ arrondissement of Paris is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited Lunar New Year parade in the capital, as much by Parisians as by the many tourists who come to discover this colorful and festive festival.
While the Lunar New Year takes place this year on Wednesday January 29, 2025, the festivities can last for several weeks. So it's not on D-day, but the following week that Paris's benchmark Chinatown celebrates the New Year. It's time for us to experience an unusual and exotic moment, in a festive atmosphere. The date of Chinese New Year is determined by the lunar calendar, so it changes every year.
The rendezvous for the 13ᵉ arrondissement's Chinese New Year parade was set this Sunday, February 9, between avenue de Choisy, porte de Choisy and avenue d'Ivry. The parade set off at around 2:30pm for a most joyful and lively route.
You'll be able to watch the many associations parading around in traditional costumes and superb make-up, and let yourself be carried away by the sound of cymbals and drums, in a joyful and good-humored atmosphere.
A flagship event in the 13th arrondissement, this festive parade attracts thousands of people every year. It's an opportunity for many to discover Chinese culture, traditions and folklore.
