2023年火龍節 | 溫哥華

With origins in Hong Kong’s Tai Hang and Pok Fu Lam Village as part of Mid-Autumn festivities, the Fire Dragon Dance is performed to ward off bad luck and pass on traditional Hakka culture. Partnering with the Chinatown Celebration Society, we are excited to host Fire Dragon Festival workshops and activities, including free lantern-making, kids’ crafts, and a musical performance by Juno-winning singer-songwriter Ginalina to illuminate the rich cultural traditions of the Chinese diaspora.

EVENT SCHEDULE:

Colouring Contest | 10 A.M. - 5 P.M.

Colour the Fire Dragon Festival illustration, created by Paige Jung, for a chance to win annual passes for the whole family (2 adults + 1 youth) for the Chinese Canadian Museum.

Decorate a lantern to take home, and stay and show it off during the parade!
