Excited to be part of the upcoming Music & Arts event ‘Grisfesten’ (Pig’s party) on the grounds of the mythical ’Dragon Gate’ April 30th.
Dragon Gate was initially built by the Chinese billionaire ‘Mr. Li’ who wanted to build something great to honor Chinese culture and establish his legacy in his newfound country of Sweden.
But due to a series of controversies and difficulties with the Swedish bureaucracy the Dragon Gate was closed and left to decay until recently when Dragon Grate reopened for business.
