Lunar New Year arrives with a bang as Chinatown goes from calm to chaotic in this Year of the Dog. Where else can you witness Mayor Jenny Durkan feeding a lion?

Duc Cash Vo, of the LQ Lion Dance Team, explains the symbolism and meaning behind this ancient tradition. Recorded at Wing Luke Museum's Lunar New Year Fair on February 10, 2018.
