A new event has been added to the Feast of Lanterns schedule – the Mandarins’ Bar-B-Q and potluck. Please join 2017 Queen Topaz’s father, Mandarin Chris Evans at George Washington Park, Saturday, July 22 at noon until 2:00pm, who will be welcoming everyone to the event. The Bar-B-Q is free and open to the public but we are asking everyone to bring a side dish to share.
All the fathers who have played the part of the Mandarin in the “Legend of the Blue Willow” will be introduced and thanked for their support and for leading the Royal Court families through their many duties that make the Feast of lanterns such a success each year. The Royal Court and Royal Guard will be in attendance.There will be music by DNA Entertainment and plenty of food and drink thanks to the contributions made by Grove Market, Nob Hill, Lucky and Trader Joe’s. Fairway Shopping Center is the presenting sponsor for this event and is home to Michael’s Taqueria, Bagel Kitchen, and Stone’s Pet Shop.

The Feast of Lanterns is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, with an all volunteer Board of Directors. The proceeds of this fundraise and the festival each year, minus operating expenses, fund an academic scholarship program for the Royal Court and Royal Guard, who are eight community spirited, active high school students.
