The Milwaukee Chinese Community Center, in partnership with the Wisconsin Chinese Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Milwaukee Dragon Boat Festival and continue the tradition of ethnic and cultural festivals in Milwaukee.
The highlight of the festival will be the Dragon Boat Races.
Our mission is to showcase a variety of Chinese culture, food and traditions. Throughout the festival, there will be performances in traditional dance, Chinese folk music and Martial Arts. There will be hands-on opportunities for the young and young-at-heart to make opera masks and lanterns, play traditional games, participate in a dragon parade, and even learning to speak and write Chinese.
