Every year, the Dragon Boat Festival promises an unforgettable experience that illustrates camaraderie, teamwork, and inspiration. It’s deeply rooted by a 2000-year-old Chinese legend and continues as a tradition to this day.
In addition to the race, you can expect a kid’s play zone, food trucks, live bands, and lots of other great entertainment.
