The PDX Disco Dragons have been to all 9 of the Portland Winter Light Festivals,in the Portland Rose Festival Starlight Parade in 2017 & 2018 (where we won “The Portlandia Award” for our fun entry with lots of other super talented light fest artists). And in the Luminary Parade at theProcession of the Species in Olympia, WA (in 2018, where we accidentally started the parade, whoops and yay!) and in 2024. So Fun!!
You can sometimes catch them around Portland, keep an eye out. They love to dance!
