The Milwaukee Dragon Boat Festival celebrates the spirit of teamwork, cultural heritage, and community engagement on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.

The Milwaukee Dragon Boat Festival will showcase a variety of Chinese culture, food and traditions. Throughout the festival, there will be performances in traditional dance, Chinese folk music and Martial Arts. There will be hands-on opportunities for the young and young-at-heart to make opera masks and lanterns, play traditional games, participate in a dragon parade, and even learning to speak and write Chinese.
