Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York August 7, 2010

Sponsored by the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office, NY, this action-packed event features races of long, sleek dragon boats that slice through the waters at breathtaking speed as paddles fly, drums beat wildly, and spectators cheer from the shore. Activities include on-stage cultural performances, sponsor booths, arts & crafts, and an international food court.
