The Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is an extraordinary FREE EVENT for the whole family to enjoy! These races 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 also 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.

But that’s not all…under our giant tent, the Taiwan Day Festival presents some top-notch entertainment! The day is filled with cultural performances, many art & crafts tables, and the always-popular dumpling eating contest. The festival also has a great selection of vendors, interactive activities, and food trucks!
