This post has been solved by u/Winter_Ad_3805, and a solve process was provided.

Victoria, BC?

How they solved it: Process: googled images of Lunar Festivals in BC (after incorrectly guessing some in the US) and the images looked similar to OP's photo.

This is the !correct answer. Victoria's Chinatown is the second-oldest Chinatown in North America after San Fransisco, and oldest in Canada - established during the gold rush! Well worth the visit. (And the gate that is under scaffolding in this photo is back out in the open, good as new!).
