20th Annual Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival
September 7, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Free
The Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is an extraordinary event for the whole family to enjoy! The races use the fiberglass Taiwanese-style dragon boats gifted from the Republic of China (Taiwan) – now 12 in total! – and incorporate the skill of flag-catching in each race. The Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat races also offer large cash prizes to the winning teams! The races are broken into different divisions…so they’re great for both club teams looking for a challenge, and amateur/corporate teams looking to do team-building with their employees and promote their business in a fun & unique way.
But that’s not all…under a giant tent, the Taiwan Day Festival presents some top-notch entertainment! The day is filled with cultural performances, many art & crafts tables, and the always-popular dumpling eating contests. The festival also has a great selection of vendors, interactive activities, and food trucks!
