This three-day event will also feature a wide variety of non-stop multicultural performances, such as dragon and lion dance, live music, martial arts, and instrument performances many have not seen before! 

Ottawa Chinatown is genuinely a Multicultural Village with an Asian Flavour, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, Indian, Korean, Japanese, middle-eastern, Canadian, Brazilian… the list goes very long.
