Only in New York City, will you find, “unemployed Brazilians and Canadian college professors, Italians wearing unitards and straight-up American dudes with shaved heads and fashionable goatees,” participating in the dragon boat race.

This year’s festival will have over 100 teams and 1,000+ participants competing from all over the World. Just like how New York City is a mosaic of peoples from all over, the dragon boat race brings together peoples of different cultures to enjoy wonderful performances, ethnic foods, and fun for everyone.
