People flocked to the Rose Kennedy Greenway for performances and vendors as the lively Chinatown Main Street Summer Festival returned again Saturday.
The annual festival, put on by Chinatown Main Street, ran on the Greenway from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, featuring a Lion Dance and Chinese folk dance, arts and crafts, food vendors and more.
Art, performers and decorations filled the Chinatown area with bright colors during the festival, as people wandered through vendors’ tents.
Participating organizations and individuals showcased a wide array of traditional Chinese culture, from the creation of flour figures — folk art dating back to the Han dynasty around 2,000 years ago in which craftspeople form vibrantly colored flour balls into little figurines, according to the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art — to the popular Lion Dance, which will continue regularly in Chinatown throughout the summer.
