Forex Club Financial Company Celebrated the year of Tiger in the 11th Annual New York Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and Festival

With the sound of drums, marching bands and the traditional dragon and lion dances, Forex Club joined the happy crowd in New York City's Chinatown on Sunday to celebrate the year of the Tiger. This year’s Chinese New Year was on February 14, 2010.  The yearly event is the tradition of New York City’s Asian community and is held during the typical continuous 15 day celebration period.  The spectacle featured elaborate floats, marching bands, lion and dragon dances galore, Asian musicians, magicians, acrobats, martial artists and processions by local organizations. Over 5,000 people joined to march in the parade this year including many local politicians and community leaders which gathered a crowd of approximately 250,000 spectators. The parade started at Mott Street and promenaded through Canal Street, finally dispersing at Worth Street. It was a beautiful, warm and sunny afternoon.  Spectators stood 10 deep, stepping on firecrackers that popped amid floats and balloons as the parade lineup squeezed into narrow Mott Street. This year’s upbeat mood was believed by many as the sign of economic recovery. The event also attracted many interests from “mainstream America” as the community was cheering and looking onto “the bright future”.

Partnered with Sing Tao Daily News, Forex Club’s colorful festive float was viewed as the best designed and received many roaring cheers from the happy crowd as it promenaded along the streets of Chinatown.  The staff distributed thousands of Money God posters, which traditionally symbolize “wealth and health” to all. It stirred up more enthusiastic cheers as the crowd stumbled to receive the well wishes.  
Forex Club was honored to be a part of such large traditional and exciting event. We wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous year of the Tiger!
