About this Spotlight
We’re excited to collaborate with Mak Fai Dragon & Lion Dance Association, once again, to bring their colorful and joyful lion dance troupe to the waterfront performing traditional and professional lion dances and acrobatic high pole performances.
Set on Seattle’s waterfront at the newly finished built-in amphitheater of the Salish Steps at Overlook Walk, enjoy a two-hour performance of traditional Chinese dances, drums, and kung fu with the seas, mountains, and city as your backdrop!
Meet Mak Fai Dragon & Lion Dance Association
Mak Fai is Seattle’s premier lion dance troupe performing hundreds of shows year-round and also compete in national and international lion dance competitions.
They aim to enrich and promote lion dancing in the Greater Seattle area and keeping the tradition alive by teaching the younger generations in the community.
You may have already seen their performances around Seattle, especially for their annual Chinese Lunar New Year Celebrations!
