The Feast of the Drunken Dragon festival in Macau, China, is an annual event beginning at Kuan Tai Temple near S. Domingos Market (near Senado Square) and progressing throughout the city. Each year the Macau Fisherman's Association organizes a group of men to traverse the city performing a drunken dance with wooden dragon heads and tails while spewing alcohol in every direction. The festival is meant to honor a dragon from ancient mythology purported to have saved a local village from a great plague.
