Heres a little bit from the site:
San Francisco: Southwest Airlines Chinese New Year Parade
"A giant illuminated night parade has been a tradition here since just after the Gold Rush in the 1860's. Expect to see elaborate floats, martial arts, stilt walkers, lion dancers, acrobatics, a 201-ft.-long Golden Dragon ("Gum Lung"), and exploding firecrackers. The date of this televised parade is Saturday, February 19, 2011. Watch for the 250' Golden Dragon carried by a team of over 100 people. About.com's guide for California for Visitors has photos from past San Francisco Chinese New Year Parades.

San Francisco has other Chinese New Year celebrations also: a street fair, a Flower Fair, and more.
