The Legend of the Lake Orion Dragon dates back to sightings in the mid 1800s. What was ultimately discovered to be a childish prank is now a beloved mascot of this beautiful lake community. Please join us as we celebrate the Dragon!
Dragon on the Lake serves as the nonprofit Orion Art Center's largest fundraiser. The Orion Art Center works to nurture artistic spirit, with classes, camps, scholarships, exhibits and special events. There are two things we love: infusing art into the community and connecting people with each other.
Grab your friends + family and join this featured and favorite Dragon on the Lake event!!
