The Big Clam Gremlin Parade is a longstanding traditional folk dance in China's canal town regions. The performance is focused around the clam gremlin, who is portrayed as a beautiful and lively figure. The dancer slowly opens the clamshell throughout the performance, while a witty and humorous fisher boy performs, to the audience's delight.
