The Cleveland Dragon Boat Festival is based on a Chinese tradition that is over 2000 years old!  By far, this will be one of the most unique events taking place on the Cuyahoga River this summer.  Last year, the event was a huge success and will surely be a great happening in 2008 as well. 

The even is being held on Saturday, July 5^th with opening ceremonies beginning at 9:00am and races last from 10:30am to 8:00pm.  Individuals can register for $45 or you can build your own team.  Admission is free for all spectators.

The festival is presented by the Flats Oxbow Association, ASIA, Inc. and Cleveland Rowing Foundation.  Visit the Cleveland Dragon Boat Festival website for more information.  (www.clevelanddragonboatfestival.com) or call 216-534-8715.
