The rat's back! After days of pouring rain, clear and sunny winter weather landed on the city of Portland Saturday, Jan. 25, for the Chinese New Year Dragon Dance and Parade.

The event, hosted by the Portland Chinatown Museum and Oregon Historical Society, included firecrackers, drummers, dancing lions and a hundred-foot dragon. The parade traveled through Northwest Portland along 4th and 3rd Avenue.
