Rain threatened to spoil the activities but it failed to dampen the spirits of those who came along.
Jean Evan, 72, who lives in Kenilworth Road, Beeston, said:
"It's important to celebrate these occasions and Nottingham always does. It's just such a shame the weather is as awful as it is but they really do it well.
"There was a wonderful dragon dance here, as well as in Beeston, and of course it is the year of the snake."
