Let’s Celebrate!
New York City’s 2nd Annual AAPI Cultural & Heritage Parade ~ May 21, 2023

What a great turn out for this 2nd annual event in celebration of the AAPI Heritage month in NYC! From the OCA 4-Chapters contingents, we had as our main attraction, a brand new dragon decorated in a patriotic theme of Red, White & Blue. This beautiful brand new dragon is courtesy of our very own OCA-New Jersey Chapter president, Henry Lee, who is also the owner of Dragon Lion Gear Company.  A big THANK YOU to the 2023 volunteer dragon dance troupe & the volunteers/participants from OCA-New Jersey, OCA-New York & OCA-Westchester Hudson Valley (OCA-Long Island had to opt out this year due to a special circumstance, but will catch them next year)!  Thanks to the 4 OCA Chapters Parade Committee who worked very hard on the many planning meetings & coordinations to make this parade come to fruition. Photos of the May 21, 2023 parade in the slideshow below were provided by John K. Tan/Eric Chau (OCA-NJ) & William Kaung/Daniel Lewis (OCA-WHV).
