Chinese parade, September 13, 1909
Order an ImageSeattle's Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition opened on the University of Washington campus in July 1909. Each day of the exposition was filled with parades, celebrations, and other special events. China Day, September 13, was one of the most popular events of the fair. The program included a parade of Chinese residents with a dragon, floats, bands, and warriers in costume. The day ended with fireworks.
This photo shows a crowd watching the Chinese parade on Second Avenue. It took a line of thirty to fifty men to carry the 150-foot long dragon. So many of Seattle's Chinese residents took part in the parade that most Chinatown businesses closed for the day.
