For thousands of year, Dragon Dance has always been considered as a unique and particular part of Vietnamese culture, thanks to the meanings that it brings to people. Dragon Dance is usually performed in big ceremonies or in celebration of important festivals to show the happiness, prosperity and a lot of luck.
Within the frame of promoting special aspects of Vietnamese culture to the world, Dragon Dance festival 2016 was organized the first time ever on Nguyen Hue street, district 1, Ho Chi Minh city on Sunday 30th October.
Coming to this festival, it was a great chance to not only enjoy the impressive Dragon Dance performances but also join in many interesting traditional activities and other youth activities such as "throw ball", "ring over pole", "flag capture", "live chess", etc.
