A vibrant Lunar New Year street festival catches fireworks over Seattle's Chinatown as a white-and-gold lion dancer and a costumed troupe lead the procession. A woman in a long blue coat watches the performance among glowing red lanterns, traditional signs, and festive storefronts, creating a lively, celebratory mood with reflective wet pavement.
