Carolyn’s note: This used to be the Tucson Birthday celebration till it became politically incorrect. Usually the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center (of which I am a member) participates too, with their Lion Dance. The Chinese were early settlers as well, with Chinese laborers on the SW train building and then laundries & grocery stores.
