In the Year of the Snake, a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and fierceness, there’s no better time to witness the power and precision of dragon boat racing. The Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in NYC is back this summer for its 35th year. And with it comes high-energy racing, cultural traditions, and community spirit to Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on August 9th and 10th, 2025.
The dragon boats glide through the water and are powered by up to 20 paddlers moving in perfect rhythm. It’s a cool sight to see!
