It's a very special celebration this Saturday at Grevillea Park! Come and watch over 25 dragon boats battle each other on the water on authentic dragon boats with dragon heads, tails and pounding drums! It's Dragons Abreast Canberra's 25th anniversary and we will be performing our lion dance to bring celebration and joy at 11am! Please park at Russell and walk across the road via Kings Avenue Bridge off-ramp because there will be a huge crowd and limited parking! We can not wait to join in the bright colours and laughter at their silver milestone!
It was stunning Spring weather that brought a massive crowd to the Celebrate Gungahlin Festival last Saturday! We had such a ball, bringing our bright-coloured lion cubs for all to see and play with... And they didn't want to leave because they were getting endless pats from the children! Thank you, Gungahlin community, you are the best! Thank you, Belconnen Arts Centre for inviting us every year to bring joy and culture! Photo credit: Art Atelier Photography
