Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026 is the fifth day of the first lunar month in the year of the horse. In the Chinese Zodiac, it’s said to be a year of speed, strength, and uplifting energy. New York City hosted a Chinese New Year Parade in Flushing, Queens—a borough with one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing Chinese neighborhoods outside Asia. The parade showcased vibrant culture with costumes, floats, dancing, and other Chinese traditions. NTD and sister media The Epoch Times also had a float in the parade.
