Dragon, lion and snake dancers took to the streets of Chinatown once again to celebrate the Lunar New Year and welcome the year of the snake on a snowy Sunday morning.

Costumed lion dancers performed for two hours on a snowy Sunday to celebrate the Year of the Snake in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood.

As millions of people around the globe ring in the Lunar New Year, one Boston hotel welcomed a local kung fu and tai chi academy to perform and bestow good luck and fortune to all into the year 4,723.

A lion dancer kicks a head of lettuce into the crowd, Feb. 9, 2025. The practice called "Choy Cheng" in English "Plucking Greens", is a play on words, with choy the word for green being pronounced the same way, though different tone, as the word for wealth.
