Flowing, golden dragons are part of the
Toronto Dragon Festival happening down at City Hall from Aug 29 to 31. The 6th annual free festival runs from 11am to 11pm Friday and Saturday and 11am to 9pm on Sunday in Nathan Phillips Square. Performers will put on lion and dragon dances high overhead while balancing on poles, vendors will be selling Asian street foods and a Luminati Night Light Show will take place after dark. The reflecting pool will be used for the Reflection Water Show and a fashion runway show.
From the festival website, "This year’s Festival promises mythical encounters and futuristic thrills. For the first time ever, beloved figures from Black Myth: Wukong and Chinese mythology’s iconic Nezha will come to life in vibrant performances, turning the square into a live-action fantasy universe. Don’t miss your chance to snap photos and interact with these legendary characters! Adding to the excitement, the festival will feature humanoid robots and robot dogs – dancing, interacting, and showing off their skills along with our dragons and lions, in a one-of-a-kind showcase that merges ancient cultural artistry with tomorrow’s technology."
