About

This Laurel tradition returns with a procession led by Sifu "Master" Lacey of the Buk Sing Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu Academy of Fremont as they unleash two amazing Lions accompanied by drummers, firecrackers, and offerings to bring luck and welcome the Year of the Fire Horse. Businesses will be "blessed" by the Lions for a year of good luck!
