Dragon Boat Racing in Blackstone Valley!

Now in its 18th year, the Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is an extraordinary event for the whole family to enjoy! Our races are the only one of their kind in the United States as we continue to use the fiberglass Taiwanese-style dragon boats gifted to us from the Republic of China (Taiwan) and incorporate the skill of flag-catching in each race. The Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boats races are also one of only races to offer large cash prizes to the winning teams! The races are broken into different divisionsso theyre great for both club teams looking for a challenge, and amateur/corporate teams looking to do team-building with their employees and promote their business in a fun & unique way.

But thats not allunder our giant tent, the Taiwan Day Festival presents some top-notch entertainment! The day is filled with cultural performances, many art & crafts tables, and the always-popular dumpling eating contest. The festival also has a great selection of vendors, interactive activities, and food trucks!

Join the thousands of people who attend each year for great competition, family-fun, and a great opportunity to learn more about Chinese culture!!!
