Put on each year by the Los Angeles Firecracker Run Committee, a community-based non-profit organization, the LA Chinatown Firecracker is a fun way to help ring in the Lunar New Year through a communal celebration of athletics, arts and culture.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The event also raises funds to support a range of \u201c\u2026local elementary schools and non-profit community organizations providing services and programs to benefit the community,\u201d such as Need2Read, Chinese Historical Society of So. California, Chinatown Senior Citizens Service Center, and Friends of the Chinatown Library.<\/p>\n<p>The LA Chinatown Firecracker consists of three primary components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5K and 10K run\/walk<\/li>\n<li>20 mile and 30+ mile bike ride<\/li>\n<li>A two-day festival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year the run\/walks and bike rides all have new courses, so those who have participated in the past can look forward to fresh challenges, unexpected twists and turns and perhaps an introduction to parts of the city that were previously unfamiliar. It\u2019s that last element that I find particularly attractive about this sort of event, since I love any excuse to get out of my\u00a0familiar surroundings and explore the city.<\/p>\n<p>As for the family friendly festival, you\u2019ll find traditional Chinese music ensembles, Korean performance troupes, Vietnamese folk dance, Japanese taiko drummers, lion dancers, in addition to Latin Jazz or funk and soul bands.
