I love the dragons and dancing lions which are central to this festival taking place in Nathan Phillips Square over the Labour Day long weekend September 1-3, 2023. Besides the couple of giant dragons there is a square full of vendors and stages full of entertainment during the Toronto Dragon Festival which celebrates 3000 years of Chinese arts and culture - all with free admission.
You can check out the Asian food, live performances, lion and dragon dances as well as martial artist demonstrations. The featured lion dance competition is on Sunday, September 3 from 2 till 6pm.
From the festival's website; "To top last year’s stunning high poles acrobatic lion dance, along with the incredible Kung Fu masters, Walk-On-Water runway fashion show, TDF will present a multicultural performance including Canada’s Inuit throat-singing, Caribbean drumming, Philippine folk dances, not to mention a hundred food and merchandise booths that the Festival will gather for your local Toronto experience."
