The festival will begin on Friday night at 4:30 pm with the opening ceremony. It will feature a Taoist priest, a lion dance and a Tai Chi demonstration. It will be followed by the first dragon boat race, which is a 200-meter sprint. The evening will finish off with a cabaret from 8:00 PM to midnight.
The next morning is set to feature a pancake breakfast provided by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, for which tickets are $5. During the day there will be games like beer paddle and flippy cup, along with the Dragon’s Lair beer tent and a fireworks display at the end of the night.
The races will begin at 9:00 am. There are expected to be up to 75 teams taking part in this IDBF qualifying event. Fees are $1,100 for an adult team, $750 for out-of-town teams, and $400 for junior teams. The last competition of the day will be a 2,000-meter race, which will be followed by the awards ceremony.
