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.

The Senate is expected to vote today on a measure that's aimed to end the government shutdown. There's been little signs of progress as Democratic lawmakers remain dug in on efforts to extend healthcare subsidies. Meanwhile, Republicans are demanding the government reopen before any negotiations take place. The shutdown started on October 1st.        Amazon says its cloud computing services are starting to operate normally again. This comes just hours after it had said the issue had been "fully mitigated" only for new issues to pop up. Some popular websites experienced technical issues earlier today, frustrating users around the globe. The issues started overnight with Amazon Web Services, which provides the online infrastructure for scores of sites and services.        Prosecutors are suggesting they may disqualify former FBI Director James Comey's lead attorney. In a court filing late last night, prosecutors told a judge that Patrick Fitzgerald's alleged involvement in giving information to the media after Comey was fired by President Trump in 2017 could be a potential conflict. Comey's legal team accused prosecutors of looking to defame Fitzgerald by suggesting he may have been involved in criminal activity.        The FBI is investigating a suspicious hunting stand near Palm Beach Airport where Air Force One frequently lands with President Trump. The Secret Service made the discovery during a security sweep of the property late last week. The agency confirmed the hunting stand was in a tree with a direct line of site to the landing area for Air Force One.        Week 7 of the NFL season wraps up with a Monday Night Football doubleheader. The Detroit Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7 p.m. eastern. The Lions enter at four-and-two, while the Bucs are five-and-one. Later, the Seattle Seahawks will welcome in the Houston Texans at 10 p.m. eastern. Houston is two-and-three, while Seattle is four-and-two.        Prog-rock legends Rush will give fans more chances to catch them on their reunion tour next year. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers announced Monday they are adding 17 more dates, starting with a show in Philadelphia on August 21st. Other new stops include Detroit, Boston, Seattle and Glendale, Arizona. The tour will now wrap up December 15th in Vancouver.
