Photo of the Day: One Whole Year of Good Luck

Don't worry, this lion won't really bite!

The 's annual kicked off today and thousands of people from all over California made their way there.

The two-day event, which continues Sunday from Noon to 8:30 p.m., has a bit of everything for all: food, drinks, games, education, tradition and of course entertainment.

On Saturday afternoon, the temple's Japanese drum group Jun Daiko also brought along a golden lion. Between the whimpers of scared little kids, there was plenty of laughter especially because–according to legend–if the lion bites you, its a whole year of good luck! Bite away!
