    Blast cap firecrackers? Lucky candy? Prob the worst time to eat at a good Chinese restaurant...

    Chinatown used to do something but that was 30 yrs ago when I watched it in Houston.

    In Chinatown, local dance teams would do lion dances accompanied by drummers and firecrackers randomly when I was younger. I havent seen one in a while and dont know if they still do, but Im pretty sure they still do.

    Eating dumplings and candy is always a good way to celebrate. Wearing red too so putting in that Rockets championship jersey is culturally appropriate. If they allow it in your city setting off fireworks
