China Gold Headlines 2017 Parade of Nations at Michigan Tech

Calling it acrobatics is putting it mildly.  China Gold, the headline act for the 2017 Parade of Nations, presents a martial arts-based display of strength, speed and agility.

Lighting, music, choreography and stage effects underscore feats of athleticism, grace and gymnastic prowess, as these talented performers showcase the Dragon Dance, Lion Dance, Wushu Shaolin Kung Fu  and Chinese female dancers.

China Gold was recently featured on international television, reaching an estimated 1.7 billion viewers worldwide.  The Parade of Nations performance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, September 16, following the Parade at 11 a.m. from Hancock to Houghton and the Multicultural Festival at Dee Stadium at noon.

September marks the 28^th annual Parade of Nations, a celebration of the international heritage and multi-cultural essence of the community.  This year’s theme is “Think Globally, Celebrate Locally.” More than 60 countries will be represented in the parade.

Parade of Nations is sponsored by Michigan Tech, Finlandia, and community businesses and residents. The headline act is sponsored in part by the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts and the MUB Board.
