Houston Dragon Boat Festival
May 2, 2009

Becoming an internationally popular sport, dragon boat racing has hit the waters of downtown Houston! At the Houston Dragon Boat Festival, teams of 25, including a steersman, a drummer, 20 paddlers, and 3 alternates, can enter this exciting competition, which involves 250-meter sprints in traditional Hong Kong-style dragon boats. Throughout the day’s racing, a celebration of Asian culture takes place at Allen’s Landing Park with food, entertainment, and activities for the whole family.
