Dragonboat Exhibition

Genoa Park in Downtown Columbus will be hosting a Dragonboat Exhibition and Race on Memorial Day – Monday, May 28, 2012, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.  

About Dragonboat Racing:

“A dragon boat is a twenty foot canoe with a decorative dragonhead on the front and a tail on the back. A drummer sits facing the paddlers and directs them with the beat of the drum. A steersman stands in the rear and guides the boat with a long, wooden oar. The paddlers sit two by two on ten benches. These individuals paddle the stroke in unison to fly the dragon across the water. It is this synchronicity that is the key to racing. Dragon boat racing is as amazing to be a part of as it is to watch.”

 In addition there will be Dragon and Lion dancing, Tai-chi workshop, and exhibits of Asian kites and lanterns.
