Traditional dance performance stomps into Georgetown

Georgetown is hosting a performance by the Summit Dragon and Lion Dance Team this spring.

The performance is a celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month and will be held next to the Georgetown Public Library at the Light and Waterworks District building.

Also known as Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, it was established in 1977, thanks to advocacy by U.S. Reps. Frank Horton of New York and Norma Mineta of California. The following year, President Jimmy Carter established it as an annual celebration. Originally envisioned as a 10-day-long celebration, President George H.W. Bush expanded AAPI to last the entire month of May each year.

As a non-profit organization, the Summit Dragon and Lion Dance team has a mission of developing leadership skills among the youth (since many participants are students) and raising awareness in the community about AAPI cultural heritage.

People are advised that the drums at the event will be loud. In addition, it is recommended for audience members to bring a blanket or chair since the performance is taking place outside. Should bad weather arise, the performance will be moved indoors into the library.

Performances like this may choose to use flyer printing to create program schedules, promotion Signs, and vendor lists.

The Summit Dragon and Lion Dance Team is performing on Saturday, May 30 from 11:00 am to noon at the Georgetown Light and Waterworks District Plaza at 403 W 9th St in Georgetown.
