Highlights: 2009 Hawaii Dragon Boat Festival At Ala Moana Beach Park
On Your Mark. Get Set. Row!
It’s that time of year again for the annual Dragon Boat Festival at Ala Moana Beach Park. This free event took place on June 27 and 28.
This year’s Dragon Boat Festival featured local and national boat racing teams competing for an industry trophy in two catagories – open race award division and the division race award. Each boat is consisted of 16 paddlers, a flag catcher, a drummer and steersman.
Due to the economy, the $450 entry fees were waived, thanks to grants and private donations. Mahalo to all the sponsors and the City & County of Honolulu for another successful Dragaon Boat Festival.
