The annual event aims to honor and disseminate the cultural beauty of Thang Long - Hanoi while encouraging folk artisans to maintain and pass on local heritage values.
This year’s event is part of activities to celebrate the 1010th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi and the 17th Congress of the municipal Party. It is expected to draw the participation of dragon dancers from 13 districts in the capital city.
Each team will stage a unique art performance of five to seven minutes. Each dance could be performed by one or more dragons, together with the other sacred animals (the unicorn, the turtle, the phoenix) combined on the background music and narrations.
The organizing committee will present prizes to the best performers, alongside some prizes for the most well-decorated dragon and the most creative dance.
