This annual sporting and multicultural event is held to celebrate the fifth moon (or the fifth month) of the lunar calendar. In addition to providing audiences with traditional Chinese foods and performances, the festival hosts dragon boat teams from across North America.

The colorful contestant boats have a dragon head at the front and dragon tail at the rear. Crew members—paddlers, drummer, steering person—power them through the water.

On the nearby shore, a stage hosts an all-day cultural program with live music.

Admission is free, and activities proceed from 9am-4pm, rain or shine.
