The International Lion Dance Championship - MGM Cup
The Quest
The International Lion Dance Championship - MGM Cup is one of the Annual Signature Events which was established in 2010. Starting from an indoor single category competition, it evolved into an outdoor 4-category worldwide competition.
The event is hosted annually at the Barra Square with outdoor setting, full-on show production with live-streaming on line and an open to public seating to cater locals and tourists. The requirements include pre-production, hospitality services, guest relations, F&Bs arrangement, travel and transportation, set-up and installation and show production.
Solution
We offer a team of 10-12 to serve this event from the start, and in addition, an escort team of 20 and a team of 10 guest relations PRs on relevant event days, from pre-competition coach meetings, daily rehearsals, opening and closing ceremony and celebration party.
Happening
The 2-day competition is set to happen every October of the year, around the Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrating the National Day holidays.
For every outdoor event, rain and contingency plan are always on our priority list. With the ever-changing weather conditions, severe rain and typhoon attacks is now a recurring issue.
In 2025, typhoon signal no. 8 and above was hoisted after the end of day 1 competition and by day 2, we smoothly transitioned to an indoor auditorium with immediate set-up and installation, and an adjusted program rundown.
Achievement
For 3 years in a row, the event has been held in great success, all contributed by our multiple professional vendors, emcees Jose Dai and KC Lee, the ever-professional Longshi.com team, over 50 lion dance teams from around the world, and most of all, our best partner and client, the MGM Brands & Marketing team.
