About the Festival
The focus of most Dragon Boat Festival celebrations involves eating zhongzi, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats. Other traditions of this festival are hanging icons of the mythic guardian figure, Zhong Kui, hanging Mugworth and Calamus, going on walks, creating spells, and wearing scented medicine bags. These traditions were put in place to prevent disease, evil, and promotes good health.

While dragon boat racing originally started from ritual, over the past 2,000 years it has turned into a watersport and international sport. Each year dragon boat racing becomes more and more popular, so let’s make sure that this festival is the best one yet!
Tips for Planning a Dragon Boat Festival
There are many factors and considerations to think about when you begin planning for this celebration. Because this festival occurs during spring time, it would be best to host your part at an outdoor location. Spring time is usually hot, and we suggest having lots of shading and tents. It is also important to have enough seats, and many spots for food and beverage stations. We suggest to host this amazing celebration at one of the many gorgeous parks where we throw events, serving incredible food, beautiful decor, and most importantly, a day dedicated to racing traditional Dragon Boats.
Finding the Right Location
Finding the right location can be challenging as the location needs to be close enough to a lake, as boat racing is the number one activity and very significant to the this Festival. Lucky for you, our company has been throwing parties for 35+ years and has amazing relationships and resources when it comes to picking the perfect location.
