A fun, unique cultural event featuring adrenaline-pumping action, dragon boat racing grows in popularity each year. Teams of 20 paddlers, a drummer and steerer race in authentic Hong Kong-style, 46-foot-long dragon boats, often wearing costumes. All ages, skill levels and physiques can participate, making it the ultimate team building sport, requiring synchronicity and finesse, more than power to win. Mayor Karl Dean calls this cultural festival and boat race the city’s premiere river event. In this ultimate teambuilding event, teams of 20 race for prizes, and to raise money to clean and protect the Cumberland River.
