The 18th Annual

Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival

 

September 9th

 

Festival Pier

100 Tim Healey Way

Pawtucket, RI

 

 

 

Now in its 18th year, the Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is an extraordinary event for the whole family to enjoy! 

 

Our races are the only one of their kind in the United States as we continue to use the fiberglass Taiwanese-style dragon boats gifted to us from the Republic of China (Taiwan) and incorporate the skill of flag-catching in each race. The Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat races are also one of the only races to offer large cash prizes to the winning teams

 

The races are broken into different divisions...so they're great for both club teams looking for a challenge, and amateur/corporate teams looking to do team-building with their employees and promote their business in a fun & unique way.

Former President Trump returns to court in New York City this morning for his criminal hush money trial. Jurors will again hear testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker who has explained this week how he protected Trump from negative stories leading up to the 2016 presidential election while smearing Trump's opponents. Also today, former President Trump's claim that he can't face prosecution for anything done while in the Oval Office if he's not first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate goes before the Supreme Court.        Arizona's House of Representatives has voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law. State Democrats successfully pushed through a bill that repeals the 1864 that banned nearly all abortions. The bill now heads to the state Senate where it is expected to be passed early next month. The Arizona Supreme Court revived the law earlier this month with it set to go into effect as early as June.        Dozens of people have been arrested following a protest at UT Austin. People gathered on the South Lawn yesterday to show their support for Palestinians in Gaza. Students were told to walk out of class by the Palestinian Solidarity Committee of Austin. By the time it was said and done, 34 arrests were made.        President Biden's campaign will continue to use TikTok despite the recent bill that could lead to its ban. On Wednesday, the President signed a foreign aid package that also laid the groundwork to ban TikTok in the U.S. The same day, a Biden campaign official told reporters that TikTok is still "one of many places we're making sure our content is being seen by voters."        A reported associate of Sean "Diddy" Combs is pleading not guilty to drug possession in a Florida court. Brendan Paul was charged yesterday in Miami with felony cocaine possession. The former Syracuse basketball player was arrested last month on the same day federal agents raided two of the music mogul's homes.        Teen births in the U.S. are at a record low. A new report from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics says about three-a-half-million teen births were recorded in the U.S. in 2023. That's down two percent from the year before, and follows a general decline in teen births over the past ten years.
