Kung Hei Fat Choi! Bacolod City welcomed the Year of the Earth Rat with an Evening Lantern Parade of the Twelve Zodiac sign animals and the customary dragon dance. The parade started from SM City and culminated in the Provincial Capitol Lagoon. The 6th Street was closed in order to give way to the kiosks and rolling carts of food aptly named Chopsticks Alley.
