2018 Year of the Dog

2018 is the Year of the Dog!

Dogs are recognized zodiac animals throughout Asian culture. They represent loyalty, friendliness, and integrity. They are those whose hard work often go unrecognized, who will stick with you through the worst of situations.

Here are all the ways our festival is celebrating all our friends, family, and animals who represent these values, and all the underdogs out there!
