The highlight of the festival is the Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Parade. This dramatic reenactment of the ceremonial parade held to drive away a plague a century ago, sees young children, dressed in the guises of traditional deities and modern celebrities, balance on poles and accompanied by gongs and lion dancers, appear to float above the crowds in a carnival-like procession.
