Chinese New Year, I'm not impressed

Seems to me the reserved 'elite' seating has more than tripled in size from past years, reducing the public seating in the square.
To make up for the public seating, two rows of tables where set up in the street leading away from the square, making foot traffic cumbersome.

Plenty of food stalls. Lots of variety, everything from oysters to steak. 
Something very obviously missing from this year's celebration
were the historical exhibits of the past 

Past years there were multiple street entertainers. This year I just saw one group.
Makes me wonder if the Red Cross Fair is stealing the thunder from the Chinese New Year celebrations. 
Just wasn't enticed enough to stick around for the show this year.
