Return of the Dragon
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is not a beast to be feared, but a symbol to be celebrated. It embodies power without tyranny, wisdom without arrogance, and strength guided by purpose. The dragon dances not just to dazzle, but to unite — bringing people together in joy, pride, and cultural spirit. It carries the hopes of a people, the blessings of prosperity, and the legacy of a thousand years. To follow the dragon is to walk with courage. To become the dragon is to rise with honor.
