Dancers take part in the Drunken Dragon Festival in Macao, April 28, 2012. During the dragon dance, people drink rice wine and beer while holding the head and tails of a wooden dragon. The dance is a unique folk custom celebrated by the fishmongers of Macao. Today, the Drunken Dragon Dance is more than a worshiping or entertainment activity in folk circles, as it has become a regular festive event celebrated by members of the Macao Fresh Fish and Commercial Association to unite and benefit the community. As a Macao Intangible Cultural Heritage item, the Festival of the Drunken Dragon of Macao was successfully included in the 3rd batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage in May 2011.
