Dragon-boat racing started centuries ago in
China, and has caught on in the
West during the
last 20 years. In this year, South Florida dragon
boat racing celebrated its seventh year with two
days of excitement on the calm and beautiful
Haulover Beach Park Marina on October 3-4,
2009. The dragon boat race
and numerous
cultural performances attracted thousands of
attendees and
35 teams to compete for various
cups and titles of the Men,
Women and
Mixed
divisions, highlighted by the 500-meter South
Florida
Open Champion competition.
“Dragon boat racing began more than 2000
years ago in Asia. Today, it is among
the fastest
growing water sport in the world, with over 6
million participants
in more than 50 countries,”
said Johnson Ng, Executive Director of United
Chinese Association of Florida. This colorful
and exciting event has become an annual attraction
in South Florida. The event has further
enriched the cultural diversity of Miami-Dade
County and enhanced Miami Beach’s appeal
to tourists.
The 8th Annual South Florida Dragon Boat
Festival will be held on
Oct 2nd and 3rd
in 2010.
