2007年匹兹堡龍舟節

 

September 22, 2007 - 11:00am to 7:00pm
South Side Riverfront Park Welcome to the Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival, a non-profit cultural initiative that is free to the public! The mission of the festival is to highlight the Chinese and pan-Asian cultures in the Pittsburgh region, and to promote intellectual understanding between the East and the West in a fun way.
2007 marks the sixth anniversary of this growing event hosted by Greater Pittsburgh Sister Cities Association, and supported by Three Rivers Rowing Association, Pittburgh Chinese School, the Organization of Chinese Americans, Three Rivers Families with Children from China, Tzu Chi Pittsburgh Liaison Office and the Chinese Association for Science and Technology-Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival features traditional Asian music, dance, and food, plus arts and crafts for the children. Asian art, clothing, jewelry, fans, and much more is available along the Dragon Stroll. Learn how to use chop sticks, experience time-honored martial arts, demonstrations of Chinese yo-yo, tai chi, and much more.
Visitors are also welcome to try their hand at Dragon Boating. Each ornately-carved boat is 44 feet long and features brightly-painted dragon heads and tails that loom ominously at the fore and aft of each craft. A Dragon Boat seats 20 paddlers, a steersperson and a drummer to sound the beat. This is a truly unique experience and one that you may never again encounter.
We also invite you to visit the "official" Pittsburgh dragon boat races on June 16 at Station Square. For more information on these races, please visit the Three Rivers Rowing website, www.ThreeRiversRowing.org.
