Project 365 – Day 202: Montreal International Dragon Boat Racing Festival

July 20 2012

This weekend will see 200 teams competing at the 17th edition of the Montreal International Dragon Boat Race Festival being held at the Olympic Basin on Île Notre-Dame.

The festival started today with a couple of races for The Hong Kong Student Cup and The Tourisme Montreal Cup,so I decided to head over to check out the action. Crowds were small today which I imagine will not be the case over the weekend.

Given the beautiful weather I was wishing I had been a competitor on the water – although it would have been hard to stay in the boat with the water looking so refreshing.
