2023 Toronto Dragon Festival Returns to Nathan Phillips Square with Foods, Cultures and All New Lion Dance Competitions

Toronto and the world are eager to watch the stunning acrobatic performances of the lion dance but better with competitions, and only exclusively at the annual Toronto Dragon Festival.

With the announcement of the 2023 Toronto Dragon Festival (TDF), visitors will keep them 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 to bring the rhythmic beat of the drums to the jaw-dropping stunts, and synchronised agility.
