What leaders of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of San Diego could not put on in person, they pulled off online Saturday, as celebrants gathered around their laptops, PCs and mobile phones to toast the 39th Annual Chinese New Year Fair.
For 38 years, the nonprofit has hosted a rousing parade and festival in the streets of downtown San Diego, where members of the Chinese community have strived and thrived for generations, to usher luck and good fortune into the Lunar New Year.
This time around, however, with the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly on the decline but continuing to spread, association leaders called off the famous Lantern Parade, the performances of the San Diego Lucky Lion Dancers and the martial arts demonstrations.
