Dragon Dance
Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
During the Grand and Opening parades

The more auspicious being in Chinese folklore, the dragon, is a creature of incomparable strength whose 24-legged dance can dispel bad luck and ward off evil. Earliest written records place dragon dancing in the West Han Dynasty (206 B.C.—24 A.D.) when the dragon danced during a spring drought. The dragon also dances to celebrate the New Year or to open a festival.

Opening Parade: Saturday, 11 a.m., Spoehrer Plaza to Cohen Amphitheater.
Grand Parade: Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m., Climatron to Cohen Amphitheater.
