Скачать или смотреть HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CHINESE FESTIVAL BEFORE?? The 142th Bok Kai Parade (Day 1) Marysville, CA 2022

Over the weekend I was fortunate to witness the 142nd Bok Kai Festival, one of the oldest celebrations amongst the Chinese Community in the US! Bok Kai is the God of the North Stream (or Chinese Water God) who was worshipped by the early Chinese inhabitants of Marysville, in hopes to protect the community against the constant flooding from the Yuba/Feather River.

The Bok Kai Festival is a 2 day event featuring a parade on Day 1, and "Bomb Day" on Day 2. Even though I grew up in San Francisco's Chinatown, I have never heard of this festival until I became a Chinatown Enthusiast and found out about the Chinese history in Marysville, California. Join me as I get to experience this festive event for the first time ever in my life!
