Dragon Boat Festival

Check out the 28th Annual Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in NYC, one of the largest of its kind in the country. The 40-foot-long dragon boats are not only functional, but also floating works of art, each painted with a unique dragon head and tail. Music is played while the more than 200 teams compete to the finish line. In addition to the boat races, there are cultural performances on the main stage, traditional arts and crafts for sale, international food and plenty of hands-on activities for families.
