Lion dancers celebrate the Lunar New Year on Dempster Street near Chicago Avenue. “We want to share our culture,” said Kam Cho, who was at the head of the lion. He runs the Chicago-based Seven Star Lion Dance Group. “Every culture is represented in Evanston, and it’s important that every culture can be visible,” said Katherine Gotsick, Executive Director of Main-Dempster Mile, one of the hosts. About 100 people filled the street. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
