Returning this year is Master Ben Seng Au and his Shaolin Arts Academy.

The lion dance performance includes elaborate traditional costumes, drums, cymbals and other Chinese percussion instruments.

Red “li-shi” envelopes fed to the lions — in the hopes of obtaining good luck in the New Year — will be available at the event.
