Don't miss the 17th Annual Dragon Boat Festival on Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, on August 4 and 5. Over 100 teams will compete for $60,000 in prizes. There will be music, dancing, martial arts demonstrations, an ethnic food court, and more, all celebrating the Year of the Pig. Bring a chair and grab the prime space at the waterside pavilion on the north side (closest to Unisphere) of Meadow Lake. Last year the food vendors were overwhelmed by demand, so pack snacks.
