The Dragon Boat Festival has been an iconic part of the events scene in the city.
While organizers suggest that the festival will look a little bit different this year, they’re excited nonetheless to announce that it will be going ahead this fall, from September 18 to 26, with the race weekend taking place either on September 25 or 26.
