20th Anniversary of the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival, June 21 and 22,
2008.
First produced as a demonstration sport at the 1986 Vancouver World's
Fair, Dragon Boat racing has grown in leaps and bounds.
The Festival was created as a showcase of Vancouver's growing cultural
diversity and to promote racial harmony and cross cultural understanding
to all Canadians - both new and old. Vancouverites were invited down to
the festival to experience spectacular food, entertainment, arts and
children's programming reflecting Vancouver's cultural diversity.
Nineteen years later, still fulfilling its mandate to promote cultural
harmony amongst Canadians, the Festival has developed into one of
Vancouver's most anticipated annual family summer events.
Recognized as North America's biggest and best, Vancouver's Alcan Dragon
Boat Festival 19th Anniversary will be a true celebration of
multiculturalism, attracting over 90,000 people and more than 180 dragon
boat teams from across the Lower Mainland and around the globe. |
