Dragon Boat Festival
This weekend check out the 8th annual Dragon Boat Festival at Sloan’s Lake. 10 am to 7 pm both days. I went last year and it was surprisingly very well attended with tons of tents and activities. You can park at Invesco and grab a shuttle over as it will be hard to find legal parking in the area.
From the site: A window to the Pan Asian world, this diverse weekend festival is the only one of its kind in the United States. It showcases an array of traditional and contemporary performing artists, cultural customs and cuisine from Asia and the Pacific, eclectic and exotic shopping opportunities in the Marketplace, in addition to two days of competitive dragon boat racing.
Since its debut in 2001, the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival has grown from 15,000 to a record 105,000 attendees in 2007 of various ages and origins. Visitors come from across the Front Range, the state and the country to participate in this annual summer event.
