Every Chinese New Year, lion dances take place all over the island in the 2 week festive season that starts every CNY. On Day 5, I was in Plaza Singapura on Orchard Road, and one troupe performed for hours as they performed the ceremonial dance to bless various outlets. Listen out for the cries of "Huat Ah!" at the end, which means "Bless Me with Prosperity". I do wish the troupes would invest in some ear plugs - it's super loud!
