Dragon Boat Racing

As I talked about this week, the Kelowna Dragon Boat Festival will be held this month. It's looks like it will be really exciting, so if you are keen to take part you've still got a couple of weeks to start training,... and find a boat.

If you want to know more about the festival in Kelowna, check out the official site:

Dragon boat racing is held to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival (also known as Tuen Ng Festival). It is immensely popular in Hong Kong and attracts teams from all walks of life, including traditional fishermen. The races are held every year at locations throughout Hong Kong. The main races will be held on the Tuen Ng Festival Day, which falls on 16 Jun next year. Join the locals for a day at the races and you'll see why this is a must-attend event!

Maybe we could start a new tradition for the Kasugai Festival and have dragon boat racing on the lake in Ochiai Park. I'm sure it will make Kasugai famous just like cactus.
