Sept. 17th – Dragon Boat Festival

September 8, 2005 Lindsay

We have dragon’s on these rivers.
What is a dragon boat? – A 40 foot long boat with a dragon’s head on the front, powered by 20 paddlers and a drummer on the back.

Sept. 17th is the 4th Annual Dragon Boat Festival @ South Side River Front Park
Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival Website – http://www.pittsburghdragonboatfestival.org/

Teams will compete all day and there will be food and activities to learn about Chinese and Pan-Asian cultures in Pittsburgh.

Can’t Make the Festival: Check out Three Rivers Rowing Asociation for Dragon Boat outings (and other opportunities to get on the water)
