I stumbled across this news release and thought some of you might want to mosey down to Chinatown Saturday to catch the action.
"A traditional Chinese dragon measuring 330 ft. - the longest known such "reptile" in North America - will snake through the streets of Toronto, on Saturday, September 12th, supported by 50 strong and agile pairs of arms, and accompanied by a smaller 20-legged dragon.
Their graceful, sinuous movements will add rhythm and colour to two parades organized on the same day by the International Taoist Tai Chi Society.
In the morning, the dragons will be the most colourful "float" in a parade marking the 23rd annual International Taoist Tai Chi Awareness Day. It will leave Nathan-Phillips Square at 10 a.m., after a mega-demonstration of Taoist Tai Chi(TM) internal arts of health, to make its way through the downtown core of the city.
Afterwards, dragons, floats, marching bands, marchers etc. will all be bused to Richmond Hill, escorted by a dozen police motorcycle. There they will take part in a second parade, down Elgin Mills, from Yonge Street to Ohio Road, to mark the Grand Opening of the Society's new 7,000 sq.ft. Toronto Centre."
Enjoy!
