A decorated flag with the words ‘St Mary’s’ embroidered on it is carried during a parade through San Francisco’s Chinatown. Massive bowls are rolled down the street during the parade by groups of men. Two little boys dressed in traditional chinese clothing look at the camera. A long white dragon winds it’s way through the parade. A man shakes a box of money at the crowd. People carry baskets through the crowds and collect things. A little girl looks up at signs for Sacramento Street and Cathay Road. Women carry an immense flag filled with tiny pieces of shiny material.
