Dragon Boat Festival
In the meantime, let us celebrate the Spirit of the Dragon Boat Festival!
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a cherished tradition celebrated by Chinese communities worldwide. This festival dates back over 2,000 years and honours the great poet Qu Yuan, who sacrificed himself for his people.
Families gather to enjoy zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), dragon boat races, and performances rich in poetry and folklore.
It is a time of unity, remembrance, and cultural pride, symbolising resilience and devotion.
