Why not try a high-energy dance class with Pink K-Pop Academy, enjoy vibrant performances from the Vietnamese Student Association of Ireland, and be captivated by dazzling excerpts of Peking Opera and Chinese martial arts. Love Actually Charity presents a beautiful Traditional Chinese Costumes and Etiquette Show, while Mongolia’s Khuur Band fills the square with the soaring sounds of traditional music.
