NORFOLK, Va. – The Waterside District in Norfolk made big plans to announce one of the latest additions to the area.

To celebrate the arrival of eatery Luk Fu, they held a Chinese Lion Dance on Granby Street featuring traditional lion dancers and fortune cookie surprises.

The Lion Dance started at Granby Street and College Plaza then moved down Granby for five blocks until Main Street.

The event was from 2:15 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, January 29.

Luk Fu will have a variety of Asian-style cuisine and will be coming to the Waterside District in April 2017.

The Lion Dance is traditionally performed for good luck.
