2019 Argyle Lunar New Year Celebration

The annual Argyle Lunar New Year Parade is a decades-old Uptown tradition celebrating the start of the new Lunar Year. We hope you'll join us as we kick off the Year of the Pig with music, colorful lion dances, entertainment, and more! Come along with a processional of local groups and floats starting near the Argyle "L" stop. Join Alderman Harry Osterman, Uptown United, and the Argyle business community for this special event!
