Mendocino children celebrate the Year of the Rat

For over two decades, children in Mendocino Village have celebrated the Chinese New Year by parading through town to the Temple of Kwan Tai on Albion Street. This year's parade took place on Thursday, February 13th, and celebrated the Year of the Rat. The Rat is the first sign of the 12 animals cycle of the Chinese Astrology, and 2020 is considered a year of new beginnings and renewals.
