To celebrate the Year of the Ox and New York City’s Summer of Recovery, the 2021 Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival will return. Watch as crew members — paddlers, drummer, and steering person – power the colorful boats, with a dragon head and tail, through the water. On the nearby shore, a stage will host an all-day cultural program with live music by the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York, martial arts by New York Shaolin Temple, and tales by professional storyteller Jonathan Kruk. As this is New York State’s largest multi-cultural festival, the fun will also include a Caribbean steel drum performance from the CASYM Steel Orchestra and other presentations.
