The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance Returns After 4-Year Hiatus
Three-day Traditional Ceremony!
2023 Sep 28 - 2023 Sep 30
After a four-year hiatus, the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance is finally back, just in time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival!
When the people of Tai Hang village miraculously stopped a plague with a fire dragon dance in the 19th century, they inadvertently launched a tradition that has since become part of China’s official intangible cultural heritage.
A city has since replaced the village, but the ceremony lives on! And you and the whole family have this chance to enjoy the three-day ceremony facilitated by hundreds of performers, tens of thousands of sticks of incense and a 67-meter dragon that winds its way through the crowded streets in a spectacle of fire and fury! Follow the parade route map here.
DETAILS:
September 28-30, 2023: The performance is from 8:15pm-10:30pm on September 28 and September 29, with the performance ending at 10pm on September 30. A recommended vantage point is Wun Sha Street.
