Riverside welcomes in the Year of the Dragon in style with a traditional Lion Dance show.

A dreary Sunday morning in Riverside was broken with the rapid and loud noises of a banging drum and cymbals yesterday.

Chinese and locals alike were at Tudor Street for a Lion Dance show in celebration of Chinese New Year.

The lion dance is commonly seen during Chinese New Year to ward away the evil spirit “Nian”, which brings bad luck to businesses.
