The event is a traditional Hakka ritual believed to bring good luck for the coming year, with spectators "bombing" the dragon with firecrackers at the peak of the performance. The Hakka tradition is held during the Lantern Festival every year and involves performers maneuvering a dragon as people shoot off firecrackers near them. The Bombing Dragon festival organized by the Miaoli City Office and the “Banglong” 𪹚龍bombing evening will be held on the Feb 24 this year, starting from 5PM at HOULONG RIVERSIDE PARK
