With the announcement of the 2023 Toronto Dragon Festival (TDF), visitors will keep themselves on their toes to watch all new lion dance competitions. Recognized internationally as a sport, lion dance competition will be featured in this year’s Festival, bringing the rhythmic beat of the drums to the jaw-dropping stunts, and synchronised agility.

Festival goers can count on all their TDF favourites that have become a yearly tradition before the summer ends. From Asian street food to diverse cultural presentations, and the ever-improvised Reflection Water Show will all land on Toronto’s iconic Reflecting Pool in Nathan Phillips Square in a much more spectacular fashion.
