Between 10a.m. and 12p.m., performers will dance through the International and Domestic terminals to ring in the Year of the Pig. Traditionally, the lion dance is used to bless. The lion is a sacred animal that chases away evil spirits and opens the door to health, happiness, wealth and prosperity.
